My understanding is that since those two XLFDs are coming from
the same watanabe-mincho.ttf and you declare both are '-c-' fonts,
then the width of the two XLFDs are really the same.  Even though
you think "all the glyphs in the second one are twice as wide as all
the glyphs in the first one" - which is not correct.  I don't think
freetype module looks at encoding field while determining the width
of charcell font.

This brings up a question: can we make freetype module look at
encoding field while determining the width of the charcell font?

Strictly speaking, it is wrong to specify '-c-' here because the ttf
font is really NOT charcell font.  It is sort of "cheating" but in
practice it has to be done otherwise it is just way TOO slow to
load a new font, or a new size of a existing font.
