fix character width to 80 #20

i have a huge righ-resolution screen on my smartphone, nevertheless the char-width of the rendering area (in monospace) is merely 65 characters causing layouts that assume 80char width to break. this destroys most of fancy headers and ascii-arts both of which contribute to make gopher worthwile. i'd like to request changing rendering behaviour in a way that the client always renders text as if it was a 80-chars-width terminal, independent of actual screen size.

I read a lot of unformatted text news on gopher, and I like that how it formats to my screen. Hard coding rendering behavior to always be 80 characters would be a setback for mobile gopher. Maybe a toggle could support both use cases.

would work for me
