Hi David,
The functionality sounds OK, though it needs to know `Ｆoo' is
2+1+1; there's no mention of wider-than-one runes above AFAICS.
$ fmttest -outsize 2 -raw -format '%{text}' 'Ｆo'
produces no output but
$ fmttest -outsize 3 -raw -format '%{text}' 'Ｆo | od -x
0000000 bcef 0aa6
does.
`Ｆ' being `ef bc a6' in UTF-8.
Assuming the newline takes up one space, that is what we want, right?
Yes, I think so.
Also, is `width' the value of `tput cols' this time, or one less
again?
Currently, it looks like -outsize counts the newline as one, like
-width. If we don't want to change that, then we should call it
something else.
That's what seems wrong. fmttest(1) says "characters with zero width...
are not counted against this total". Does linefeed, U+0A have zero
width?
Cheers, Ralph.
