Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, yet, I don't find it to be an
improvement. It breaks the column alignment in most cases. Until we find
a more sensible display, we should preserve that vertical alignment.

Your problem stems from the special characters your are using, e.g.,
"\200". We may need a pixel based alignment to fix that.

Regards,
