Perhaps super sized kerning on variable width fonts...

Huh? Sorry I completely lost you there. ET doesn't require any special fonts or rendering API's. It also doesn't need tab stops defined in pixel widths, though it is hugely beneficial. eg: jEdit doesn't use pixels to define tab widths, it uses spaces (like most editors). Yet they made it work for ET. The down side - you are limited to mono-spaced fonts only. When tab stops are defined in pixels, you get the full benefit of ET - more accurate indentation, more accurate alignment and the use of proportional (variable width) fonts.

Seems Graeme dont need ET for ATSynEdit component? I could help here.
