FC's Dialogue System - how to adapt for Proportional fonts?

Hi guys,
This is a question for people who have experience / knowledge of FC's Dialogue System (free on the marketplace).

I'm using it in my current project but have realised it is setup for monospaced fonts only - but I need to use Proportional fonts too.
When using Proportional fonts with it they can look pretty messy.

Has anyone successfully adapted it for Proportional fonts? - and if so, can you help me out?

---------
My Attempt:

My attempted solution so far is to create a ds_map and store the pixel widths of each letter in it.
I've then being trying to call/use these to draw each letter in it's correct position (trying to adapt FC's code to do this) but perhaps down to my lack of experience and knowledge I just can't seem to get it working!
