However, if I understand the property right, it's designed to be used in
mono-/bi-width situations like terminal emulators, not in a proportional
situation like Microsoft Word. The width of the character in Word should
be dependent on the width of the glyph in the font used and the spacing
on the line, not "East Asian Width".
