You can checkout the ncursesw branch and compile a wide-character Ruby ncurses library. With that, wide characters actually get displayed correctly. The remaining issue is that there's no way of determining the display width of wide character, and no way of taking a substring of a wide-character string based on character display widths. There's a libc function called wcwidth that I've been playing around with importing via dlopen, which would be the logical starting point for, but haven't quite managed to make that work. > but the git repository doesn't seem to work.

Yes, I've asked them to fix this but no response. I am considering migrating to gitorious or github for this reason. -- William
