Hi!

When using Emacs, I notice that some UTF-8 characters has different
spacing even with a monospaced font. This problems leads to
misalignments in the text:

It works fine in terminal:

Is there a way to fix it in GUI?

emacs uses multiple fonts to represent different Unicode blocks. So
it's not necessarily monos paced.

Hum, so I need to manually change all the fonts I want using set-
fontset-font?

you can use a font that covers more Unicode blocks
