[xiphos-users] parallel view column width

[Byron Smith]

Wait, sorry, this is your machine? If Linux, what distro? Ubuntu? Fedora? OpenSUSE? The last version of this program was in 2020, I think. Shame, because it's great.

Oh, I didn't know it was a Linux machine. If he said so, then I missed it. Aren't the latest Windows binaries GTK-based?

it might be a Windows font metric issue.

But stranger things have happened...!
