Yes, it was a poor choice of words. I realized that after sending. I of course meant width of 1. >I wish Linux console would be fixed and upgraded for the 21st century so that >it would have proper Unicode font support.

And what about my position that the default should be the way it is now? I want to make it easy for the actual language users. >Another question then is could we find a way to keep braille glyphs >aligned on terminals that really support wide characters.
