Perhaps that's true, but of course they should probably also be
characters that convey the desired meaning to users. In the case of
buffer status, the conventional characters are `*' and `%', which in
the font I used for menus are radically different widths (that's why I
sound so adamant -- it really does look bad for me).
Whether * and % have the same width would be relevant
if the idea were to use * and % as alternatives in one column.
However, actually they are used independently. So the question
is whether we can find an alternative to * that has the same width
(in common fonts) as *, and an alternative to % that has the same width
(in common fonts) as %.
