Re: [O] table alignment failed for Asian characters

If you are wondering if this question has come up before, why don't you try the FAQ? - Carsten

Well the FAQ tells me what I thought already. I will post here a specific solution for Japanese and it might be added to the FAQ later. Maybe others can contribute to add Chinese, Korean and other languages. Thanks Torsten

I think if you search the mailing list, there is some info there already: http://search.gmane.org/?query=table+align+chineseauthor=group=gmane.emacs.orgmodesort=relevanceDEFAULTOP=andxP=Zasian%09ZtablxFILTERS=Gemacs.orgmode---A - Carsten Thanks Torsten - Carsten

Personally I think that it does not woth to add a *specific* solution for the faq, who knows how many non-fixed-width *fonts* are out there ! ;-) But I leave the last word to Matt Lundin.

And maybe a few example fonts. If you do a C-h C-\ RET tamil-itrans RET you will see a nicely aligned table which gives translation table for tamil characters - (OK, Tamil is the language I speak) - which look like http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?msg=56;filename=temp.png;att=1;bug=9336 Each entry is a *single* character but it made up of as much as 3 glyphs (?) with each glyph being of fixed width(?). The alignment is produced by doing something like: , See (find-file (locate-library indian.el)) | (propertize \t 'display (list 'space :align-to clm)) ` I wonder whether similar strategy could be adopted. ps: I don't understand much of what I am speaking. But I would like to be able to use Tamil tables in Orgmode tables even though I may never use it - sounds paradoxical isn't it. - Carsten But I leave the last word to Matt Lundin.
