Could you make a list of the characters you > care about being doublewidth? For natural display, Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin (except FULLWIDTH variant) should be normal-width characters. However, they should be doublewidth characters for compatibility of EUC-JP and Shift-JIS. * locale = ja_JP.eucJP or ja_JP.SJIS (on your xterm-152-27) Every characters in JISX0208/0212/0213 are doublewidth characters. # Note: EastAsiaWidth.txt has bug because it does not care about # JISX0208/0212/0213, it supports only CP932 ;-( * locale = ja_JP.UTF-8 Kanji, katakana, hiragana, and symbols are doublewidth characters. Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin are normal-width characters. This is my opinion. The other Japanese may have other opinions.
