Hmm . . . the "just get a fixed-width font and embed it in your app" approach definitely doesn't seem like the "Right Way" to do things here. FntCharsInWidth is the "Right Way" and has the added bonus of working with any font that may be installed on the system. If a user has replaced the default font using a 3rd party utility, I would think apps should generally respect that choice. I agree there are certain cases where fixed-width fonts are quite appropriate (serial terminal comms apps), however, I don't think that this case (ie: how do I make multiple left-aligned text columns in a non-fixed-width font in a list box) is one of them.
