Hi,

I tried it again on my home system, which has different fonts
installed.

case 1: size = 13
ASCII:	Lucida Sans Typewriter	[9 pix per char]
CJK:	さざなみ明朝		[12 pix per char]

case 2: size = 11
ASCII:	Lucida Sans Typewriter	[7 pix per char]
CJK:	さざなみ明朝		[10 pix per char]

I think in this case it will add 6 pixels to each CJK character in
case 1, and 4 pixels in case 2, right?  That's an increase of 50%
width...

["さざなみ明朝" is actually a very nice and readable font even at
small sizes, because it has built-in hand-tuned bitmaps ...]

Fair enough... :]
