Hi Larry, this has come up before. You need to use a fixed-width chinese font as your default font, one where each character will occupy exactly two (or 1 or 3) ascii character widths. Org is smart enough to deal with integer width characters (quite a feat already, I assure you), but it cannot and likely never will handle variable width fonts. - Carsten On Oct 21, 2008, at 9:48 AM, Larry.Liu wrote: > I found the align of table columns, as well as tags and columns in > column mode are not aligned correctly, if there is any Chinese > character contained, > > The attachment is a screen shoot > > System: MacOS 10.5.5 > Emacs: GNU Emacs 22.2.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin9.4.0, Carbon Version > 1.6.0) > Org-mode version: version 6.09 > > I am not familar with lisp so I can not look into the code, is this > a bug of org-mode or tbl? maybe this is because the length of multi- > byte character is not calculated correctly? > > Thanks. > > -- > -------------------------------------- > Larry.Liu > Mobile: 13911483964 > --------------------------------------- > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
