I think in general, no, I think thereβs nothing we can do. If thereβs actual bugs around measuring (like #20 was) we can fix those, but ultimately thereβs not much we can do here except recommend fonts which are fully monospace, despite being exceedingly rare.
Ignoring ANSI colors, for which Iβve reopened your other issue, I think thereβs two problems here:
There is no measuring for graphemes wider than one. This is our bug.
Many monospace fonts do not contain these characters and so they end up falling back to non-monospace characters. Thereβs no much we can do about this. It happens in the terminal long after weβve measured.
In your specific example, you can see how the widths of the characters are not lining up with 1 or 2 columns.
