Tab and space sizes different

#1

I have this issue whereby, visually, tabs appear to have more spaces than spaces. My tab_size is 4. The vertical line that indicates the indentation levels appears after 1 tab, but then when I change to using spaces the vertical line appears after 12 spaces (should appear after 4 spaces).

A screenshot of a file using spaces is shown on the left (If you count the dots, you’ll notice the vertical indentation line appears after 12 spaces.
A screenshot of the same file after converting spaces to tabs, shown on the right. It displays the vertical indentation line after 1 tab.

does using the default font make any difference?

It does. Was using Droid Sans Mono Thanks for that.

Whitespaces are unreliable with proportional fonts.
