[comp.sys.mac.misc] fonts with numeric characters of varying widths?

I was very surprised to find that the Tekton font from Adobe has
numeric characters of varying widths.  This renders it useless for
many intended uses here.  It is the first font I've run across where
this happens.  Do other people have comments on this?  Should I be
surprised?
