  Even if all of the programmers working on a project are diligent
  enough to stick to only using tabs or spaces and have tabs set to the
  agreed number of spaces, there is still a problem if any programmers
  wish to use modern proportional fonts (because a space is no longer
  the same width as every other character).

Who uses proportional fonts for coding?  Does the increase in readability
that a proportional font gives you on large bodies of text also apply
to code?

I am all for a standard solution to the tab/spaces issue, but not because
I wish to use a proportional font for coding.
