Such combining characters and and also double width characters may still remain as separate issues for Org table alignment and maybe the patches from Eric Abrahamsen are required to resolve one or both. > because of the type of font it is? Sorry, generally new to Emacs so > I'm not sure how to move forward with that insight. Several steps to go with choosing font(s) and probably tweaking set-fontset-font which I don't have much insight neither. Regarding the choice of font: Is there any font that is monospaced even in the Tibetan range at all? What does a "cat" (not "less" or any other ncurses) of your file look like in different terminal emulators like xterm, gnome-terminal etc. on different OSes? What does "locale" from these terminal emulators tell? Regarding a possible first step with Emacs set-fontset-font: How did the glyph for INFINITY from the test look like, was this aligned for you?: xxxxxxxxxx| ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞| Michael
