Re: Broken commandline

Hi Kacper, thanks a lot for your explanation. I should add that the APL formatting model is heavily based on the assumption that every character has the same size (like it was the case for old APL terminals). So even if a font were able to tell that some (APL-) character takes 2 screen column
