Make paradox-menu-mode work better with proportional fonts

[hexmode]

"Archive" and "Description" columns line up. "Version" and "Status" should, too.

Maybe paradox does something wrong here, but I think it might be a bug with package.el or tabulated-list-mode. Can you reproduce this if you restart Emacs and launch the regular package manager (with M-x list-packages)?

[hexmode]

Side by side, two emacs started with "emacs -q --no-site-file".

I set the default face in both to google's Go font

I did "M-x package-init RET" to load paladox and skipped the github account setup on the left.

Thanks, indeed it's some issue with paradox. It may take me a bit of time to look into it, so any help is welcome.

[hexmode]

Just noticed something that might be helpful.

Package lines without the "h" (indicating a homepage) are lined up.

Package lines with the "h" are not lined up.

I'm sorry it took me so long to think of this. But you should be able to workaround the problem by disabling paradox-use-homepage-buttons.

[hexmode]

Thanks! That workaround does the trick.

I think it also shows that paradox needs to add a column for the home page link just as one has been added for github stars.

[Malabarba]

True. I initially implemented it this way to save space. But I think it deserves its own column now.

PRs welcome. :-)
