Unicode string width functions


From: Bruno Haible
Subject: Unicode string width functions
Date: Sat, 7 Jul 2007 18:58:42 +0200
User-agent: KMail/1.5.4

The fifth part of the Unicode string library: functions for determining the
display width of Unicode characters and strings (assuming non-proportional
fonts).

Like wcwidth, this can never be perfect, because terminal emulators don't
behave exactly the same way. But it should be good enough for many languages
and xterm.
