That one is easy to solve:
The entire thing should be based completely on wcwidth(), and for those
platforms where the C library is not yet providing one (that users then
can configure via the locale), the very compact and portable one in
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/wcwidth.c
can be used as a good substitute. It is more than enough efficient
for terminal display.
