Ah, sorry, I was wrong, and right too. And Dave, you also were wrong and right. Linux indeed pads some double-width characters with spaces. (According to a comment in drivers/tty/vt/vt.c this is done for Unicode 5.0.) I wonder if there is any chance of getting Linux to pad all double-width charactes with spaces. -- Aura _______________________________________________ This message was sent via the BRLTTY mailing list.
