If you do a
C-h C-\ RET tamil-itrans RET
you will see a nicely aligned table which gives translation table for
tamil characters - (OK, Tamil is the language I speak) - which look like
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?msg=56;filename=temp.png;att=1;bug=9336
Each entry is a *single* character but it made up of as much as 3 glyphs
(?) with each glyph being of fixed width(?). The alignment is produced
by doing something like:
,---- See (find-file (locate-library "indian.el"))
| (propertize "\t" 'display (list 'space :align-to clm))
`----
I wonder whether similar strategy could be adopted.
ps: I don't understand much of what I am speaking. But I would like to
be able to use Tamil tables in Orgmode tables even though I may never
use it - sounds paradoxical isn't it.
