Hi,

I am using Org-mode version 8.2.10 and GNU Emacs 24.5.1, and have the
following table in an org file:

=== BEGIN ===

| எழுத்து | பெயர்  | சொல்  |
|--------+-------+------|
| அ      | அகரம்  | அம்மா |
| ஆ      | ஆகாரம் | ஆடு  |
| இ      | இகரம்  | இலை  |
| ஈ      | ஈகாரம் | ஈட்டி |

=== END ===

The "|" are in their respective columns when I check their position
using the cursor, but, visually they are mis-aligned.

when I export to HTML the columns are neatly aligned. Is there a way
to make them aligned in the buffer itself?

SK

Unlikely unless you can find a typeface for displaying tamil glyphs that
is fixed width, i.e. where each glyph takes up the same amount of
horizontal space...

Hi Shakthi

I would recommend to read this tread:
"mis-alignment in org-tables with Tibetan characters"

This works only if you use a font where all glyphs are the same width.
