+  <title>Characters look too narrow</title>
+
+  <p>Some characters, such as some Greek letters and Asian logograms, can take
+  up either one or two cells in a terminal window. These characters are often
+  referred to as <em>ambiguous characters</em>. By default, these characters
+  are displayed with a narrow width in <app>Terminal</app>, which looks better
+  in situations where perfect layout is important, such as in ASCII art. You
+  can change your profile preferences to display ambiguous characters as wide,
+  which can be better if you are reading running prose.</p>
