Hi Xiao,

I remember that I struggled with the problem that I had to make sure that column view used a fixed-width face - and this was the solution that worked - not a particular pretty one, admittedly.

Do you have an idea on how to change this code that it will always work?  I'd be very happy to accept a good patch.

Hi Carsten,

I wasn't sure what you were talking about until I tried out the theme, leuven... and that was really fanciful and totally screwed the column-view without your fixed-width face fix.

In order to make it more flexible, instead of just set it once when org-faces.el is loaded, I think enforcing it every time when column-view is called is a better choice.  Thus came the following little patch.

diff --git a/lisp/org-colview.el b/lisp/org-colview.el
index a98deec..f3b8e42 100644

In this way, the column-view face will not be bound only to the font family and size at the time of loading org-faces.el, but anytime column-view is called.  I'm not sure if I covered all the cases, but it seems to work well for me.  I hope the patch is not broken by the mail app, but I guess it is simple enough to read it in one sip of coffee, though I tracked the issue and wrote the patch with one cup.

Best,
Xiao-Yong

PS. I realized it was almost a month-old email.  Org-mode is really good at remembering it for me.
