Description:
Tables within the documentation should be shown in fixed-width form, because theyare otherwise hard to read. E.g., table in section "Server System
Variables".        

How to repeat:
In .chm help file for server, browse to section "Server System Variables". Scroll down to the first table contained withinthe documentation.

Not sure what you mean.  Each table in that section is
fixed-width. That is, for a given table, each row is the same
width.

Sorry, my typo. I meant to say "fixed width font". I will attach a screenshot that shows the problem as seen in the "mysqld" section.

Okay, I see what you mean in the screenshot.

I do not see this problem in the current builds of the
CHM manual. Can you try visiting this page, and
downloading the current CHM file?

I checked with the 5.1 docs on the server: it's perfect now.
Thanks for the quick replies and the fix!
