If possible then there should exist a possibility (in
prefs) to force fixed width on variable width fonts.
Maybe measure the width of all alphanumeric characters
in the current font and force the largest width to all
characters in the custom output class.
MUDs very often rely on monospace, that would be a way
to support variable width fonts with not letting things
like automaps and ASCII art mess up.
Also the character should be centered in the monospace
width then.

    This isn't realistic. wxWindows doesn't support such a
    feature, and as such, it would require manual calculation in
    DrawLine for each -character-. DrawLine is already slow
    because it has to stop at piece of data... making it stop at
    each char would just result in wxMUD running -extremely-
    slowly.
