This is already available by double clicking on the division
between columns.  I'd prefer not to clutter the context menu with
much more.  It is already a bit full.

This is a known problem which doesn't have a simple solution.  The
issue is that fonts do not scale linearly.  A string that is 20
pixels wide with a screen font is not 20 pts wide with a printed
font.  The width changes a bit.  I'm working towards a solution for
this as part of supporting multiple zoom factors, but it is not high
priority.
