I think it will not be very useful, as PicoLisp uses the UTF-8 representation directly. We would need only a single function from that lib, the one returning the print-width of a given char after converting it to wchar. Perhaps the easiest solution for the Chinese problem would be a simple heuristic range check, something like (and (> C SomeLimit) (prin "^H")) ♪♫ Alex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
