Thanks Eric - I've used this patch but I doesn't seem to solve the problem. I'm working on an earlier suggestion by Michael about the unicode type that my Tibetan font is. I very much appreciate all this help! Steffan On Sun, Feb 9, 2014 at 8:09 PM, Eric Abrahamsen e...@ericabrahamsen.netwrote:

Ah yes, this won't work if your font draws characters at variable widths. I use Chinese a lot, and some Chinese fonts will still create misalignment, simply because a Chinese character as drawn as 192% the width of an ascii character. Dunno how to get around that. On 02/11/14 10:50 AM, Steffan

Michael, that test case you suggest does indeed cause the same spacing problem. So this isn't a problem from the vowel stacking in Tibetan, because of the type of font it is? Sorry, generally new to Emacs so I'm not sure how to move forward with that insight. On Tue, Feb 4, 2014 at 10:13 AM,

[O] mis-alignment in org-tables with Tibetan characters

2014-02-02 Thread Steffan Iverson
Hello all, I've made an org table that includes both English and Tibetan characters, and the columns don't line up. I suspect this is because of the way Tibetan characters are displayed - they stack below and above each other, making the characters vertically taller than the English characters.
