The common solution (among Chinese community) is to scale Chinese characters with `face-font-rescale-alist’ and make one Chinese character precisely twice as wide as a ASCII character. However, that makes the Chinese characters taller than the ASCII characters. Is it possible to add some padding to the sides of a Chinese character and make it twice as wide in Emacs? I don't think we have any such features. You will have to choose your fonts such that they provide this nice alignment.
