Yes. But this is surely a general problem, and:
`truncate-string-to-width'.
----
If ELLIPSIS is non-nil, it should be a string which will replace the
end of STR (including any padding) if it extends beyond END-COLUMN,
unless the display width of STR is equal to or less than the display
width of ELLIPSIS. If it is non-nil and not a string, then ELLIPSIS
defaults to ‘truncate-string-ellipsis’.
----
*sigh*
Would anybody mind very much if I added a `string-truncate-right' that
does all this automatically, and amend `string-truncate-left' in the
same way? I.e., use (if (char-displayable-p ?…) "…" "...").
