Funnily enough I'm the author of the Zeus editor. Glad to read you like using it :)

Over the years many Zeus users have asked for proportional fonts so you’re not the only user who misses them.
The reality is many years ago, Zeus was designed with only mono-spaced fonts in mind.
At that time, the simple rule of knowing all characters are the same width and height seemed to greatly simplify the design of the editor.
And once that design decision was made it's amazing how many places in the editor code that rule then ends getting coded, making it very difficult to change :(
Given the time again I think the underlying design would be different.
- Stratoscope 14y agoAh yes, I know how that goes. Very hard to undo a fundamental design decision. Well, proportional or monospaced, Zeus is great either way. :-)
