I can't reliably reproduce the problem either but it happens most of the
time. When I can reproduce it I'll send details.

Here's an example. When it works it looks like this:
~/emacs/cvs:water$ ls c*
config.bat config.log config.sub* configure.in
config.guess* config.status* configure*
When it doesn't work it looks something like this:
~/emacs/cvs:water$ ls c*
config.bat config.log config.sub* configure.in
config.guess* config.status* configure*
In the second example config.sub doesn't start in the right column.

I thought (and think) they are fixed width too so I don't understand
why the fonts matter. I don't know much about fonts.

I won't get the list compiled until next week but it will come.

Ha! My main use for term is to connect to remote machines and do system
administration. Maybe gnuserv or TRAMP could be used to edit files as
root on remote machines but I haven't tried it. I also haven't thought
through whether it's a good idea or not. Even if I had it all set up,
there would always be new machines on which it was not yet set up :)
Sysadmins *must* know some vi anyhow. Don't get me wrong though I'd
love to be doing *everything* in Emacs!

C-d is like C-v in Emacs except it only moves down half a page. I'm
typing C-d inside an Emacs term and it's getting sent to the vi process
on the remote host. C-l in vi redraws the screen.
