I just got version 1.1 installed, and it appears to fix the problems
with proportional fonts.  It always worked fine for me if I stuck to a
mono-spaced font (Monaco or Courier).  If you don't want to get the
upgrade (?), start looking for places where they calculate the width
of a string by {(string length) * (font width)} rather than {font
stringWidth: string}.  CharacterScanner also had some bugs.
