+<h1 class="chapter"> <a href="libunistring.html#TOC37">9. Display width <code>&lt;uniwidth.h&gt;</code></a> </h1>
+
+<p>This include file declares functions that return the display width, measured
+in columns, of characters or strings, when output to a device that uses
+non-proportional fonts.
+</p>
+<a name="IDX604"></a>
+<p>Note that for some rarely used characters the actual fonts or terminal
+emulators can use a different width. There is no mechanism for communicating
+the display width of characters across a Unix pseudo-terminal (tty). Also,
+there are scripts with complex rendering, like the Indic scripts. For these
+scripts, there is no such concept as non-proportional fonts. Therefore
+the results of these functions usually work fine on most scripts and on
+most characters but can fail to represent the actual display width.
+</p>
+<p>These functions are locale dependent. The <var>encoding</var> argument identifies
+the encoding (e.g. <code>&quot;ISO-8859-2&quot;</code> for Polish).
