Is there a way to force character width to be consistent on filenames?
Make sense?
I realize it's a feature probably no one but me would use but it's worth asking nevertheless.

Easy, set XY to use a monospaced font in general - unfortunately this can only be done for the whole interface, not just the name column.

You can change the List Pane font to a fixed width font here (eg. Consolas):
Configuration | Colors and Styles | Fonts | Main Contents
Although if your main aim was just to be able to quickly check the count of chars is the same for each item, alternatively you could just add a column like "Len" to the list instead, sorting by this column would allow easily spotting any variances, or maybe use Instant Color FIlters to highlight any differences.

Consolas did the trick for me, thank you !
'Len' column would be more useful for me if it counted the length of the filename rather than the full path, even though in that instance it would do the trick too so thank you for bringing it up.

Use "LenT" instead - that's why Jupe wrote "like "Len""

Well, there is no column "LenT" but one can make one (called it "Name Length" below to make clear what it does):
