I'm sympathetic with this view, being a lover of typography myself. But
you're in luck! dmenu, dwm, and libdraw already do support variable-width
fonts. My desktop system runs dmenu in Helvetica. :)
great news, glad to hear there is a like-minded soul here with the
programming chops to actually make stuff happen!
I suspect that it's more the fact that nearly every method of
rendering fonts on X11 supports variable width fonts by default,
and requires significantly more effort not to support them than
to.
