NEW auto dimension tables doesn't work in orgtbl Text mode

NEW auto dimension tables doesn't work in orgtbl Text mode

[Sebastian Szwarc]

Hello,
I've noticed on Aquamacs (both current and previous version) that if I enter orgtbl mode for Text file or for scratch
width of the columns are not properly set up after hitting Tab key.
In org-mode everything is OK and columns are set properly.
Any suggestions?

regards
Sebastian

Must be specific to Aquamacs: I can't reproduce it on 

Ubuntu 10.10
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.0) of 2011-04-13
Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.181.g66caf)

Ok here it is:
Aquamacs version: newest :)
Snow Leopard 10.6.7

Set - unicode UTF-8
Font  for text mode - Lucida Grande 13pt

And this is how it looks

Samuel Wales was on the money: Lucida Grande is a variable-width font.
Org-mode expects fixed-width (monospaced) fonts, i.e. fonts where
every character has the same width, such as Courier or Consolas.  With
a fixed-width font, tables can be aligned by simply making sure each
cell contains the same number of characters through padding smaller
values with spaces and truncating larger values.  With a
variable-width font, on the other hand, it’s much more complicated (if
it’s possible at all—I think you’d have to do weird things with
images).

Try a different font, e.g. Lucida Console, and you will see things
lining up correctly.

Is there any hook to customize different font for text orgtbl mode and different for the rest?
Cannot find proper option in menu.

You might want to try to configure the fonts org-table and org-formula.

Thanks for suggestion.
Customization of org-mode is still bit tricky to me..

BTW what a surprize..before I get your response I watched video from your presentation about org-mode from 2008 :)
