[Suggestion] Align all characters to grid when using different character encoding

(Separated 2 suggestions into each posts)

I have a suggestion for fixed-width font for non-ASCII characters used with ASCII, specifically Japanese characters, when you have multiple lines, with one line using ASCII, and the other uses Japanese, they don't line up vertically to the “character grid”:

グリッチ    123
test    123

グリッチ  <- 4 characters
test <- 4 characters

Both lines are 11 characters wide in total, have 4 space character between the word and the “123”. This can be confusing if you do column-select, as it checks if the in-between positions is included in the column-select. I would like to find an option to enable align to grid by forcing all characters the same width.

This isn't something that is handled by Notepad++; it is handled by the embedded Scintilla component. Unless and until that component does something for this, if it is even possible, Notepad++ can't do anything about it.
