incorrect Chinese alignment

[YiZhangCUG]

If the input has Chinese words, the alignment is not right. Looks like this:
//
/ This is a test string. 这是一个测试段落 /
//

Yup, boxes is still on single-byte character sets.

This is actually our most requested feature, but also a lot of work to change.

I'm closing this in favor of #1 and #49, which mostly describe the problem in detail.

Actually, looking at your example, I noticed that you use a proportional font.
This is unlikely to work with boxes, which assumes a monospace font (like Courier or Consolas). You'd still need a monospace font, even if the MBCS support was implemented.

FYI, #1 was implemented (finally!). It will take some time to update the distribution packages, but starting with v2.0.0, this will work. 😊
