The text displayed totally OK with the terminal emulator, because historically the ideographics are `double-width'. If you use a monospace CJK font which is exactly twice wide of the latin font, you will find the text is wrapped around 73th column as well.

But consider that we can use both GUI and terminal interfaces at the same time (multi-tty), counting pixels seems bogus, too. Kanru -- Q: Why are my replies five sentences or less?
