I noticed that the "Descend to next floor? (Y/N)" messagebox was the wrong width. So I decided to do some quick math and try to work out the optimum sizing for each message.
As it is now, it's balanced for the exact font and size you're using, so if you change it the msg_ratio and possibly the width divisor would need to be tweaked again, though that's not too hard.
Down the line this could be automated as well, just by inputting the character width (if monospace) or at least average character width and then doing all calculations from that.

It works pretty well as far as I've tested it.
