--- Comment #4 from Akihiro Nomura <sacredfox at hotmail.com>  2009-06-18 07:01:37 EDT ---
In fedora 11, CJK ambiguous width ideograms are rendered and treated as
zenkaku(full-width) in gnome-terminal.
It renders these ideograms without error that I mentioned in Comment #1.
But rendering them as Zenkaku(full-width) makes vim confused.
In F11's default setting, default value of ambiwidth option in vim is always
single, vim assumes these ideograms are rendered as Hankaku(half-width).
If this setting is wrong, cursor position in vim gets wrong and hard to edit
the files including these ideograms.
This behaviour makes all Japanese F11 & vim user confusing.

There are 2 ways to solve this problem:

A: Put a vim script that detects accurate ambiwidth option in /etc/vimrc
(change vim)
B: Make default width of these ideograms to Hankaku (change
fontconfig/vlgothic)

I don't know whether this buggy behaviour is vim's bug or fontconfig/vlgothic's
bug, but I think solution B is better for users, because changing /etc/vimrc
may bring another additional error to the people who don't use CJK characters
and these buggy behaviour is brought by fontconfig/vlgothic changes.

If I should open another bug for this problem, please let me know so.
