This must be improved, and there are two solutions at least:

1) Automatically resize the cell's text font size to fix the cell width.
This will draw very small texts when pixel space is very small.

2) Discard cells automatically.
Do not display all cells, only the ones that can fit.
The problem here is to calculate the exact cell positions / width (spanning more than one cell).

btw: Cells in the attachment are centered-aligned (they should be right-aligned as contents is numeric).  This should be fixed too.
