<title>Characters look too narrow</title>

Some characters, such as some Greek letters and Asian logograms, can take
 up either one or two cells in a terminal window. These characters are often
 referred to as ambiguous characters. By default, these characters
 are displayed with a narrow width in <app>Terminal</app>, which looks better
 in situations where perfect layout is important, such as in ASCII art. You
 can change your profile preferences to display ambiguous characters as wide,
 which can be better if you are reading running prose.
