Suggestion of a new Custom format for fullwidth characters

5
Summary by Thiemo Kreuz (WMDE)

Not possible due to consistent behavior across operating systems, fonts, and the software used.

Hello, this extension is very useful to use, but there is one problem in fullwidth characters.

Fullwidth characters use two space, so I can't make a custom format that all parameters align in same length.

Actually, fullwidth characters aren’t exactly two spaces wide, at least not using my font (DejaVu Sans Mono). In the below example, I tried to use two spaces per fullwidth character, and the four spaces are wider than the two letters:

{{Template
|ABC= 
|A    = 
}}

Given this, I’m not sure how feasible such a format would be. In any case, feature requests should be raised on Phabricator if you want them to be noticed by developers.

Thank you for letting me know.

I'm use to my wiki's font which fullwidth = 2 spaces, so I forgot about that.
