I changed to unifont and restarted jqt and the results still look a little out
of line for some wide characters.
< 3 4 $ 'a', (u: 3101), 'b'
┌────┐
│aఝba│
│ఝbaఝ│
│baఝb│
└────┘
$ ": 3 4 $ 'a', (u: 3101), 'b' NB. force to UTF-8 to estimate span of
unicode characters
3 8
< 3 8 $ 'x' NB. Wide enough to accommodate double wide characters
┌────────┐
│xxxxxxxx│
│xxxxxxxx│
│xxxxxxxx│
└────────┘
The result could look something like this:
┌────────┐
│aఝba │
│ఝbaఝ │
│baఝb │
└────────┘
< 3 4 $ 'a', (u: 30101), 'b' NB. looks like the spacing has been
improved for CJK characters
┌──────┐
│a疕ba │
│疕ba疕│
│ba疕b │
└──────┘
< 3 4 $ 'a', '疕', 'b' NB. Fractured UTF-8 results in erratic character
display
┌────┐
│a疕 │
│baç│
│baç│
└────┘
