I know this, but I mean another problem here.  Say I have a Latin
font with width 7 and height 20, I'd like my Chinese characters
shown with width 14 and height 20.  But my Chinese font told
Emacs to display them with width 12 and height 22 --- therefore
it breaks alignment.  I want to tweak it into 14x20, but don't
know how to do that.
