>IMHO, it's enough to remember that "Courier New" is proportional. I don't know about particular function/property, but you could use FONTMETRIC or TXTWIDTH to make some analysis here.
You can try this.
I assume that if a average width of a font == maximum width of the same font, this font should be proportionnal.
(Just a guess)
MAXWIDTH=7
AVERAGEWIDTH=6
=AFONT(laFont)
FOR i = 1 TO ALEN(laFont,1)
IF FONTMETRIC(MAXWIDTH , laFont[i], 10) = FONTMETRIC(AVERAGEWIDTH , laFont[i], 10)
WAIT WIND laFont[i]+' is (probably) proportionnal!'
