Thank you, I looked, it seem complex for now as I only wish to align
header parts of the displayed text and not body part of the
programmatically displayed text. Something like string based

I guess that key to positioning is `string-width' function

I am looking how to use this function:

(defun tabulated-list-print-col (n col-desc x)
