But latex is implemented in InsetPrintNomencl but it is still not called.

Because this is the only solution. The optional argument of \printnomenclature is a width, but only
LaTeX knows the width of the widest used symbol, because only LateX knows the font metrics of the
used output font, the fontsize, shape, etc..

Not really, I only used it to keep the overview and this will go once I get my
code running.

I'll change this.
