There's not enough information in the bug report.  If your system's
runtime (e.g., glibc) does not yet support the wcwidth data for those
characters, ncurses will show them as blanks.

(the font and terminal used are only one part - some terminals use
hardcoded behavior, while ncurses uses the system's locale information).

no, that only eliminates the python script from discussion
