If you use a non proportional font the width of the characters is fixed and depends on the font size only. For example if you use a non proportional font whose character width is 80% of their height in all its font sizes you can use something like "10*0.8em" as a column-width specification.
If you use a proportional font you can only approximate the actual width of n characters by making an assumption on the average width of the characters used.
