I don't understand the question.  If the font is a mono-spaced font,
you'll get mono-spaced output.  Note that many CJK fonts don't have
this flag set because those fonts are bicameral, containing
mono-spaced single-width and mono-spaced double-width glyphs at the
same time.

Please give a more detailed example of what you want to do.

You have to check whether MsMincho contains an SJIS charmap at all.
There are high chances that only a Unicode charmap is available.  In
that case you have to translate your SJIS input to Unicode (e.g., by
using iconv or something like that).
