Oh, I bet you do. With a true fixed-width Unicode font, it's the *Latin-character* text that's painful, if not unreadable, because the aspect ratio needs to be close to 1.0 to handle ideographs, rather than the 0.5 or less common with Latin fonts. XTerm has an option to treat ideographs as double width. That does the trick (at least, I don't know any scripts that really really want an aspect ratio of 0.7 or 2.0). _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
