Hey, org-mode crew. Awesome app; I love it. It's pretty much the only
thing that keeps me in emacs these days (apart from writing Python code :)
).
You probably already know about this problem, but here's a thousand words:
(I hope that comes through.)
I'm sorry I only have time to whine and not fix, but, hey: day job and all.
GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601) of 2013-03-17 on MARVIN
Org-mode version 8.2.5h (8.2.5h-dist @
c:/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/)
(Re-attaching pic at full size, since I don't know what gmail is going to
do to that insertion.)
John.

Layout works for ASCII width characters

Yeah, constant-width font. I tried switching to utf-16, but that didn't
help.

A bit of work has gone into keeping double-byte characters from messing
up Org tables, but my guess is what you've got there is just an odd-out
glyph. It looks like the, erm, carrots (I'm not a mathematician) are
getting borrowed from a different font and substituted into your
fixed-width font where they don't quite belong.
[five minutes later]
I just went and did my homework and LOGICAL OR and LOGICAL AND are
in fact single-byte characters. If they look funny, it's just because
few fixed-width fonts come with all the necessaries. I don't think
there's much way around that...

Both characters are in
DejaVu Sans Mono
Free Monospaced
Menlo
Try one of these fonts.

That has nothing to do with Org. Your font (or any of the fallback
fonts that are tried instead) doesn't provide a single-width glyph for
the unicode codepoint you're using. Emacs usually gets this right if
you have at least a fallback font for these glyphs that has the same
width _and_ single-width glyphs, so wither such a font is missing
completely on your system or the fontconfig is slightly messed up.

Achim.
