How would you know that the value 2 is the one to use?
This kind of solution sounds like a terrible kludge to me. It is also
unreliable, because the font designers didn't promise us the padding
value will not have to change when more characters are added. And the
value depends on the ASCII font being used as well, not just the CJK
font, so even the syntax of the spec is incomplete (it doesn't mention
the ASCII font).
Would someone please investigate how do other GUI editors solve this
problem, and post a summary? I'm sure there are better solutions than
asking users to provide pixel values for each pair of fonts.
