Can I clarify something?

Suppose a line containing chinese ideographs stretches halfway across the
when placed next to each other.

Is what is wanted these ideographs to actually stretch right across the page?

so instead of this:
|--------------------|
Iliketotype

You have this:
|--------------------|
I l i k e t o t y p e

If this is what is wanted, should we just place the caret at the
right-most edge of the column and fill to the left with characters?

I'm genuinely curious.

Cheers
