This is a known problem. It has haunted us for years. We love our unicode and we love our boxes but they are not completely happy.
The long standing proposal is that someone model the desired behavior in J and then we'll look at incorpporating it in the primitive format. A short while ago there was a much more serious problem in that no Mac had a true fixed pitch font so J boxes were a little ragged. But very recently they finally fixed Courier New to be a true fixed pitch and it looks OK.
