IIRC, icewm uses both proportional fonts.
Sylpheed also uses proportional fonts for some things.

I doubt it. Text-mode applications are usually
designed for fixed fonts.

No, that's something users can decide for themselves.
Some people prefer a big font that's easy to see;
others prefer a small font that enables them to have
more characters on the screen.

Editing .Xdefaults to change the font is not difficult.
Nor is editing the jwm menu to change the font for a
particular item.

Cheers,
Steven
