vt100 linedraw characters should be wide in ambig_wide mode #119

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
In xterm with the -cjkwidth option enabled, the linedraw characters are
displayed with double width, so MinTTY needs to do the same when an
ambig_wide mode font is selected.

Implemented a fix, but found that it messes up applications such as mc that 
aren't
aware of the ambiguous-wide issue rather badly. Since the vt100 graphics have 
always
been narrow and live in their own character set separate from Unicode, there 
isn't
really any reason to apply Unicode rules to them. Closing as "rejected" because
incompatibility with xterm seems the lesser weevil here.
