We discussed biwidth (-b-) fonts ages ago, but since then I though it had been agreed that splitting bi-width fonts up into two charcell (-c-) XLFDs is actually better, because leaves the application to decide, which width to use for which character, especially as CJK and Western habits differ here significantly.
