When fringes are not available, Emacs falls back to using the leftmost
and rightmost character cells to indicate line continuation and
truncation with ASCII characters. Is there an easy (i.e., Elisp) way to
force this fallback behavior when fringes are enabled? I couldn't find
anything in the manual, so I thought to ask here before trying to patch
it in the source.

No. The logic you describe is hard-coded in the display engine, such
that the truncation/continuation glyphs are shown only if the width of
the corresponding fringe is zero. There's no way currently to affect
this logic.

I see. Thanks a lot for the explanation.
