Description of the new feature/enhancement

I am suggesting to add an option where I can force each glyph to use exactly one cell. This could simply be a boolean option / checkbox that enables this feature for a single profile.

Problem description

I am using FAR in the terminal, and I sometimes deal with file names that contain foreign characters, i.e., Chinese. These characters are not rendered in a single cell, breaking FAR's layout:

This seems to be independent of the font, and each of the foreign characters appears to use exactly two cells:

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I honestly do not know enough about font rendering to give any technical details. However, I know that this works in ConEmu, here is a screenshot of the same directory rendered with that terminal emulator:
