Maybe in the GTK build, if you let GTK handle tooltips and all the rest. But not in general. E.g., tooltip.el has: (defface tooltip '((((class color)) :background "lightyellow" :foreground "black" :inherit variable-pitch) (t :inherit variable-pitch)) "Face for tooltips." :group 'tooltip :group 'basic-faces) That's nowhere near fixed-pitch (or any other monospaced face). And at least on my system, both menus and the caption bar use a variable-pitch font that is different from the one used in the tooltips.
