? Do you use Root window input style as a workaround or did you find a real solution?
I only use the Root input style but it works very well and I don't have much inconvenience experienced so far.
I don't understand this problem.

looks OK, doesn't it? Can you please explain in more detail how to reproduce the problem?
Your screenshot looks correct, but mine's doesn't. Actually, to put it easier to understand, I mean all 1-byte characters are displayed as if they are 2-byte characters. That is, there is an ugly space in between each roman alphabets. Here's my screenshot that illustrates the problem: http://cronus.spaceports.com/~cbkihong/images/tmp/shot1.png When I am writing some programs with a whole page of roman alphabets it is very annoying to the eyes.
