Terminal emulators and UTF-8

[紳癒礁湖]

Are you using Ubuntu font on the terminal or another one? Try it our change to Sans or Cantarell. It's specially indicated using Ubuntu Mono, it's designed for maintain the spaces between characters properly. I use to write japanese characters and this happened with some downloaded fonts.

|  $ locale
|  LANG=vi_VN.UTF-8

|  
|  Of cousre the default English locale is fine.

|  I have seen this problem for a long time in Lubuntu but still couldn't

|  
|  Do you know why this happens and how to fix it? It's really hard to read 
|  the text in terminal.
|  
|  Thank you and regards,
