Actually it does :)... In a way at least.

If you have lets say Hiragana glyphs which take 2 cells space will be
displayed and acted like taking two normal characters.

Basically the algorithm is:

// determine normal cell width by analyzing ASCII character dimensions
normal_cell_width = max_width(glyphs[32..127]);

glyph_chars = (glyph.width + normal_cell_width - 1) / normal_cell_width;
