It's quite easy to write a dialog-handler that works fine with any
system-font, proportional or not. Just don't make any assumptions and
you'll have no problems.

I've tested proportional system-fonts under N.AES, and to my surprise it
was mostly newer apps that had problems. Most of them has lots of
userdefs, and apparently they have not had proportional fonts in mind when
they designed them.
