Thanks, but the change you propose will not work reliably on GUI frames, because the actual width of double-width characters on display is not necessarily twice the width of a "normal" character. Especially if this is done in a non-CJK locale, where the default font is likely to be different from the font used for double-width characters. The accurate method of lining up in these cases is to use window-text-pixel-size instead. That function will return the exact width of a string as it will displayed, in pixels, because it uses the same code as the display engine.
