Yep, there's a problem here, thanks. I haven't got Lucida Typewriter, but found my Vista install has Lucida Sans Typewriter. That font doesn't actually have Greek or box drawing characters, so all I'm getting is the square replacement character, but it does indeed take up two cells for those. Turns out that's because Latin characters are reported as having a width of 0.5 (of whatever unit) whereas the replacement character is reported as being 0.625 wide. I'll adjust the ambiguous-width detection.
