In most proportional fonts, the numerals are, in effect, monospaced. If this
were not the case, it would be impossible to make any sort of table with
numbers.

Thanks for your reply. Your reference to a "well-designed" font I assume
means a "fixed pitch" font such as Courier where a space occupies the same
horizontal distance as a 1. However, I'm looking for a solution that works
for a proportional font.
