--- Comment #8 from Stewart Gordon <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Marco Leise from comment #6) > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halfwidth_and_fullwidth_forms So "halfwidth" means the width of a character cell, and "fullwidth" means double that width. Seems counter-intuitive. I would have expected them to be something like "singlewidth" and "doublewidth" respectively. So there a few different units at work here: - code units - codepoints - graphemes - width units A further complication is whether formattedWrite should be geared towards text terminals, writing data to a text file designed for human reading, writing data to a text file that follows a rigid format for machine processing or what. So it looks like there's no simple solution. But in 99% of cases, using code units (as it does at the moment) is bound to be wrong. --
