Because so much stuff gets shuffled around, re-scaled and generally mucked around with in development before the menus get finalised, we don't usually fine tune the font until everything else is out of the way because it would be wasted work (as we'd have to do it all over again with whatever new font we end up with for the final version). It's a downside of showing pre-release stuff, you get to see all the unfinished bits as well as the cool stuff :) As Eric5h5 says, it's just a temporary font.

It's quite trivial to use a lookup table so each character can be a different width.

The 1/32 / HO options are in the game setup (along with a lot of other options so you can really mess around and set it up how you like) So you pick that when you're deciding what you want to race. When you're playing local multiplayer, there's a single view of the whole track as if you were all sat there playing it. Network multiplayer is less of a problem of course as you all have your own view :) @Salsa, they don't.
