I know ThinkPascal back in the day used a proportional font, but I think I remember MPW using mono. My CanonCat uses a proportional font when you write FORTH programs for it.

Was just going to mention THINK Pascal. It used 9-point Geneva, and bolded keywords, if I remember correctly.

Yup. That's the one I'm thinking about. Oh. And an early version of MS BASIC for Mac did something similar.
