It does not seem to have full width characters, but it is certainly not OK. At least not with an X client like GNU Emacs. My invocation was:

	emacs -Q -fn "Courier Prime"

Trying the font with the NS and "AppKit" variants of GNU Emacs on Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) revealed that the fonts are OK for these two Emacsen (version 24.3).


Loading the font in FontForge, it emits some warnings, but none would explain the failure in X11.


There are more monospaced fonts: DejaVu Sans Mono, FreeMono, Monospace, Bitstream Vera Sans Mono, Latin Modern Mono, Libertine Mono…

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists solutions
are things that are still all mixed up.
