That is it, should (at least) have the > "normal character width". You want to make a proportional font look like a monospaced one? Wouldn't that basically throw away all the advantages of using a proportional font? I though we want proportional fonts there because they look nicer and more natural? You can try this by adding SPC characters with (space :align-to) display specs on them after each character in text that uses a variable-pitch face.
