Don't know what you mean :(

The problem is, when I have mixed Chinese and English, the
display is not monospaced anymore.  This is my font
configuration:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(create-fontset-from-fontset-spec
 "-adobe-Courier Std-normal-normal-normal-*-19-*-*-*-m-0-fontset-courier")
(set-fontset-font
 "fontset-courier" 'han
 "-adobe-Adobe Heiti Std-normal-normal-normal-*-19-*-*-*-*-0-iso10646-1"
 nil 'prepend)
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist
             '(font . "fontset-courier"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

You see, I set them to the same size.  But the latter font is
taller, so breaks vertical alignment; the width is smaller than
width_of(Courier) * 2, so breaks horizontal alignment.

I can tweak the size of Heiti to be larger, to have the same
width; but the resulting display is rather ugly.

Thanks for the hint, but I don't know what's inside these magic
numbers.  Can you show me a doc for this?
