-Fixed width fonts in most countries have characters of the same width.
-Some countries, however, use Latin characters mixed with wider
-characters---most notable East Asian countries.

-To help fix this, you can set @code{gnus-use-correct-string-widths} to
-@code{t}.  This makes buffer generation slower, but the results will be
-prettier.  The default value is @code{nil}.
