Doesn't matter if you toggle off X for monospace with the IDE -- the IDE is 100% written in SCREEN 0, and SCREEN 0 **ONLY** works with monospace. If you load a font to use in the IDE, it's going to be monospaced.
Now, with that stated, let me also state that it doesn't matter if the font you use is true monospace, proportional, or even variable-width. The IDE is going to basically run a small script which looks for the widest character in your font, and then it's going to add padding to all the other characters so they become that set width.
The IDE will **FORCE** that monospace setting, on any non-monospace font. And whoooo boy, does it end up looking stupid weird!! Try one of the script fonts sometime, where capital characters are oversized and have wide flourishes attached to them....
