Why do you expect to get a variable pitch font?  We don't have any way of
expressing that in font attributes, do we?  Emacs tries to find a font from
the same family, but if that fails for some reason, all bets are off wrt
whether the font we find will be variable-pitch or not.  Or what am I
missing?
