Hi,
at least for xterm, there is a simple workaround for the narrow/wide display
problem with gnu-unifont (although probably this is not the way it is
supposed to work).
Separate unifont into two fonts, one containing the narrow characters, one
containing the wide characters. Do this using the unifont.hex file (should be
available from
http://czyborra.com/unifont/
Using some script separate this file into two files (one containing all the short
lines, the other all the long lines [ a colleague did the actual scripting ]).
Use bdf2hex script from above website to generate 2 bdf-fonts and install them.
With xterm, use the narrow font with -fn and the wide font with -fw.
First test results are looking very nice.

P.S.: No need to CC me directly, I'm on the I18N-list. :-)
