Character attributes (bold, italics) on a TTY don't affect the size of
the characters. The box-with-hex-code and character composition are
not available on a TTY. Wide characters _are_ available, but they
count as 2 characters, so again they don't affect the metrics.
Prettify-symbols-mode will only work if the replacement is a single
character, not a composition of several characters in the same cell.
