As it is stated, I agree. The problem is what constitutes a "monospace"
font.
I spent some time experimenting. I tried lines of Chinese text mixed
with lines of English text. I did this in a Gnome terminal using a font
plainly having "mono" in its name (FreeMono Regular), and in a Gnome
terminal using an AR PL UKai font. In *both* cases, English characters
always take up 1/2 the horizontal space used by Chinese characters.
Decades ago, Judy Collins sang that she really didn't know clouds, love,
and live a-a-t all. It seems we (including myself) really don't know
"monospace", fonts, and terminals much better!
