[Orgmode] How to align table in org-mode with Unicode characters, like Chinese

[filebat Mark]

Hi All

I fail to align table which has Chinese, while English characters work very
well.
Below is the sample. Is there any setting can save me out of this annoying
problems?

| ±àºÅ | ÐÕÃû | ·ÖÊý |
| 1 | ÕÅÈý | 80 |
| 2 | Å·ÑôÓÑÈË | 90 |
| 3 | ÀîËÄ | 75 |

Thanks very much for your attentions.

猖号 | 姓名 | 分数 |
1 | 匠䞉 | 80 |

It looks fine to me in my Emacs. You have to make sure that
your Chinese font is setup exactly twice as wide as English
letters. See attached screen-shot.

FAQ:

the table editor works fine if each Chinese character is an integer
number of ASCII characters wide [1]. So you need to find a Chinese font that
does have this property. No chance that will ever make this work for
fonts that do not have this property.

Org is smart enough to deal with integer width characters (quite a feat
already, I assure you), but it cannot and likely never will handle
variable width fonts.

Thanks, Giovanni.

You're right, I have just asked a duplicate question.
I am very sorry about that. And I will pay attention to this next time.
