Hi,
I am using Org-mode version 8.2.10 and GNU Emacs 24.5.1, and have the
following table in an org file:
=== BEGIN ===
| எழுத்து | பெயர் | சொல் |
|--------+-------+------|
| அ | அகரம் | அம்மா |
| ஆ | ஆகாரம் | ஆடு |
| இ | இகரம் | இலை |
| ஈ | ஈகாரம் | ஈட்டி |
=== END ===
The "|" are in their respective columns when I check their position
using the cursor, but, visually they are mis-aligned.
when I export to HTML the columns are neatly aligned. Is there a way
to make them aligned in the buffer itself?
SK

Unlikely unless you can find a typeface for displaying tamil glyphs that is fixed width, i.e. where each glyph takes up the same amount of horizontal space... -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 25.0.50.2, Org release_8.3.2-161-gd2ac25 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
