For me, the same would be

Fontset: -*-Monaco-normal-normal-normal-*-18-*-*-*-m-0-fontset-auto1


If I say C-u C-x = on other parts of the buffer, I get a font like this

     mac-ct:-*-Monaco-normal-normal-normal-*-18-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x26)

but on column-view lines, I get

     mac-ct:-*-Monaco-normal-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-iso10646-1 (#x0D)

which is much smaller than what I am used to.

BTW, I forgot to say, this is Emacs 23 on a Mac .

No, my use case is more along the CD database in the manual, except that 
I am working on a catalog of texts.  Occasional it is useful to get an 
overview by displaying all entries in a table, hence I got interested in 
column-view.

All the best,
