I could be wrong, but it seems to me that all fonts are scaling
correctly.  My guess is that it has to with how :align-to interacts with
selective display, either a bug in its interaction, or an incorrect use
of these features in 'tabulated-list-mode'.

Try `list-packages'; move point to the "Name" column, hit `{' until you
see the "..." glyph indicating selective display, and finally `C-x -'.

Now, for some packages, but not all, the "Version" column no longer
has the correct horizontal alignment.  It is too far to the left.
