OK, you can't specify a proportional font, but there are plenty of ways to
make a decent proportional font appear. My favourite method is stylesheets.
Put the following lines in your header:

BODY { font-family: gill, helvetica, sans-serif }

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
PRE { color : blue;
  font-family : lucida, monospace;
}
</STYLE>

Any <PRE> text will now appear in a lucida font if available, or in the
default monospace if not. Things can get quite comlex with styelsheet
definitions if you play around with them. I would give you an url, but that
is mising from this info file, although I cannot recommend it enough. ps:
msie4+ must be on your computer, and possibly also MS html help workshop
(both free). The second might not be necessary if you have msie5.
