Then please explain how a ":" character can become twice wider.

Characters don't stretch, they stay the same width. If "-" is
replaced by "*", then the width could change, but if each of them has
a min-width that accommodates all the possibilities, that won't give
us any trouble.

Sorry, I cannot write code out of trust alone. I need, for some
strange reason, to understand the goal.
So if I'm too stupid to understand and think through your intentions,
then I'm afraid you'll have to do this yourself. At least I tried,
and tried very hard.
