Description

How about supporting keeping monoscape with Chinese, Japanese, Korean character like Sarasa Mono

It makes every CJK character as width as two latin character

It is really cool!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research how Sarasa Mono achieves CJK monospace by making each CJK character exactly two Latin character widths. Examine the JetBrains Mono font source files to understand the existing glyph structure and spacing. Investigate tools like FontForge or Glyphs to edit and test CJK glyphs. Consider creating a proof of concept with a small set of CJK characters.
