At one time (and maybe still), Font understood #widthOfString: .
An idea (that I've used elsewhere) is to iterate over the values you
actually have in the list for the font you are using to determine the
size. This makes sure it works - but will change (and maybe need to be
re-done with each change to the inspector list).
Alternatively, you could run this for a reasonable sampling of characters
and take the average of the widths, and use that result as the 'standard'
pixel width?
Just some ideas,

I would like to make my GTInspector views work well
with different font
sizes. In particular, some people find the default Pharo font too small and
want to switch to a larger one.
The main problem is that my tables have their column width specified in
pixels. The values are chosen to make good use of screen space with the
default font size, but it becomes unreadable with a larger font that
doesn't fit.
How should I solve this?
The first idea that comes to mind is to invent my own units that are
scaled according to system font size when converted to pixels. I wonder if
there is a better known solution already though.
Cheers!
