    "em width" used to be the height of a capital 'M' in the typeface, leading to the phonetically spelled "em"; in any case, this just essentially sets the threshold to twice what it was. this can therefore probably just be fm.width('M') * 6. there is also QFontMetrics::averageCharWidth() but we probably want a maximal size rather than an average size and i'm concerned about the speed of that in such a hot path (looking at the code, it might be somewhat expensive ...)
    
    this is also a value that could probably be cached, of course, and changed on font change .. but that's likely overengineering the whole thing.
    
    in any case, 'M' * 6 is probably fine. please commit with that change :)
