But in some respects it seems that this is creating a monospaced (called 
tabular) effect with a proportional glyph.

 From the first reference:

"Replaces figure glyphs set on proportional widths with corresponding 
glyphs set on uniform (tabular) widths. Tabular widths will generally be 
the default, but this cannot be safely assumed. Of course this feature 
would not be present in monospaced designs."
