Are you sure about this? I do believe most of us have been using proportional fonts in all of our decimal point mods, and we haven't had any problems.
I used to do lots of work with fonts, and from my experience numbers in proportional fonts are almost always the same widths. Well designed fonts are produced this way becuase the vendors know that people need to create columns of numeric data. As a results, they need the one, tens, and thousands places to line up perfectly. I have seen very few fonts in my day (print industry) that don't make the cell sizes of numbers almost exactly the same. Usually when you find a font that doesn't line up correctly, it is some cheap knock off of a well known font, created by someone who doesn't know much about typography.
