| 1064 | On Solaris 9, many line-drawing characters are too wide. |
|
|
| 1065 | Seems to be a known bug, read |
|

| 1066 | <http://nixdoc.net/files/forum/about34198.html>. Some people use the |

| 1067 | following ugly workaround to get non-double-wide-characters working: |
|
|
| 1068 | |
|
|
| 1069 | #define wcwidth(x) wcwidth(x) > 1 ? 1 : wcwidth(x) |

|
1107 | Character widths are not correct. |
|
|
1108 | urxvt uses the system wcwidth function to know the information about the |
|
|
1109 | width of characters, so on systems with incorrect locale data you will |
|
|
1110 | likely get bad results. Two notorious examples are Solaris 9, where |
|
|
1111 | single-width characters like U+2514 are reported as double-width, and |
|
|
1112 | Darwin 8, where combining chars are reported having width 1. |
|
|
1113 | |
|
|
1114 | The solution is to upgrade your system or switch to a better one. A |
|
|
1115 | possibly working workaround is to use a wcwidth implementation like |
