	Telling Agent to use fixed pitch font, I see

"4" under column 6 (column 0 being the quote > marker)
"8" under column 10
"t" under column 4
"2" under column 8

	If I turn off fixed pitch, my normal display has

"4" under column 3.25 (estimating, it's not aligned with the 3, but not
quite at what I'd consider halfway to column 4)
"8" under column 5
"t"  around 2.5
"2" under 6
