As I said, because sometimes the CJK font chosen for a given
point-size is very small compared to the ASCII font, the point where
each CJK character is almost as small as a single ASCII character.
[I didn't just make this up, I looked at the fonts being used for my
Emacs on several machines, and thought "hmm, how would this look if
CJK font-spacing was forced to double-width...?"]

Then the terminal probably does a better job of choosing a CJK font to
match the ASCII font, or simply uses a different ASCII font...
I guess the point is that there are multiple interrelated issues here:
character-spacing, but also font choice.
Ideally the best solution is to automatically choose good matching
fonts (and give the user powerful methods for overriding such
choices).
