Title: wrong character width with Ubuntu Mono and replacement fonts in gnome- terminal: Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm using Ubuntu Mono in gnome-terminal. When displaying some unicode (non ascii) characters that are not in Ubuntu Mono and a fallback font is used, the spacing between the glyphs is wrong (too small). The fallback characters are double width, but the next character is display after a single width, leading into overlapping characters. If I see this correctly, gnome-terminal is using libvte which is using pango to render text. I therefore checked how pango renders this with `pango-view --font="Ubuntu Mono 32" --markup --text='<span fallback="true">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A▷C✚D⚑F↓G↑H..I☺J</span>'` and `pango-view --font="Ubuntu Mono 32" --markup --text='<span fallback="true">xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A▷C✚D⚑F↓G↑H..I☺J</span>'` . In both cases double with characters or "replacement boxes" are displayed and no overlapping occurs. If I use the "monospace" font, no overlapping occurs in gnome- terminal. Whose fault is this and how can it be fixed? I'm on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS, gnome-terminal's version is 3.6.2-0ubuntu1, tf-ubuntu-font-family 0.80-0ubuntu6 and everything is up to date.
