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

I'm on the road right now, give me a day and I'll take a closer look at what I've got... Great -- thanks in advance! I'll then wait before releasing a new minor version and merging it into Emacs for Emacs 24.4. To other core maintainers: if you see important issues that needs to be fixed in maint, let me know. Sorry this took a while to get to... I think it was a little simpler than I thought -- at least I hope that's true, and I'm not missing something really obvious. There are two patches attached, a simple one that handles re-justification of table fields during field movement, and another that allows for narrowing of columns with double-width strings. The second patch is uglier, and doesn't work 100% well (you get misalignment if you try to narrow a double-wide to an odd number of single-width characters), but it's better than nothing. Please test! Eric
Re: [O] mis-alignment in org-tables with Tibetan characters
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.

Either because some glyphs are not available in your default monospace font or are not used due to an incomplete configuration with set-fontset-font. For a diagnosis in this direction I would check the alignment of | after some characters just repeated like here: xx| ་་| གག| རར| སས| ུུ| ོོ| ྐྐ| xx| ∞∞| Michael
[O] mis-alignment in org-tables with Tibetan characters
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. You can see this same problem in the text pasted below, it behaves the same way in an org table. Any way to solve this problem? Perhaps somehow changing the height of all the text in the table? Thanks! | རྐུ་བ་| rku-ba | བརྐུས་པ་ | brkus-pa| བརྐུ་བ་ | brku-ba | རྐུས་ | rkus| | གསོ་བ་ | gso-ba | གསོས་པ་ | gsos-pa | གསོ་བ་ | gso-ba | གསོས་ | gsos| | འཆོར་བ་ | 'chor-ba | ཤོར་བ་ | shor-ba | འཆོར་བ་ | 'chor-ba |
