The difference is with the characters above and below.  When doing a
monospaced "grid" display, the Roman characters will form a reliable
grid while the CJK will be put to the left in their allotted space.

Having them in the middle of that space might be more pleasing, but
again, I think we need some input from CJK users here to see what they
expect.

And we could perhaps leave this as an option to be specified by the user
(somehow).  I.e., flush left, flush right and middle.  But perhaps this
is over-engineering again.
