But they are proportional fonts. Using them for programming would be

It's a good question, though - why *do* we use fixed-width fonts for
programming? Tradition? Or does it just make things easier somehow?
Well it makes tabs and spaceing better for output. For programing I use
a 80x24 full screen DOS box ... I can read the display.
The tiny pop up windows are a real bitch for me to read, I don't like
the C compiler or CPLD software for that reasion.
The only thing that works half well is cut and paste from the dos
box to the windows gui.
