Unlikely unless you can find a typeface for displaying tamil glyphs that
is fixed width, i.e. where each glyph takes up the same amount of
horizontal space...

[O] Tamil unicode table column alignment

2015-10-14 Thread Shakthi Kannan 
Hi,

I am using Org-mode version 8.2.10 and GNU Emacs 24.5.1, and have the
following table in an org file:

=== BEGIN ===

| எழுத்து | பெயர்  | சொல்  |
|+---+--|
| அ  | அகரம்  | அம்மா |
| ஆ  | ஆகாரம் | ஆடு  |
| இ  | இகரம்  | இலை  |
| ஈ  | ஈகாரம் | ஈட்டி |

=== END ===

The "|" are in their respective columns when I check their position
using the cursor, but, visually they are mis-aligned.

when I export to HTML the columns are neatly aligned. Is there a way
to make them aligned in the buffer itself?

SK

This works only if you use a font where all glyphs are the same width.
