My msg323731 for #12568 refers to my msg321291 above.  I did some new experiments with column spacing for European characters in Windows console (as opposed to tk Text) and discovered that some, including some Latin1 characters used in English text, may also become double-width in certain fonts.  The problem of calculating physical line lengths is even harder than I thought before, and does not require non-English text.
