The README states that multiple fonts can be used, but they must all be the same size. What's not mentioned is that if one uses a single font that is multiple sizes, yaft works correctly. [See example.]

Here you can see I am editing a text file that has characters of different widths. I am using a bi-width font I downloaded from http://openlab.ring.gr.jp/efont/unicode/ called "b24.bdf". b24.bdf.gz

I suggest the README perhaps should mention the possibility of a using a bi-width font.

Also, it would be nice if mkfont_bdf would correctly merge two fonts (one narrow and one wide) into glyph.h. If that's not possible, please consider implementing an option like xterm has to specify a second font just for wide font characters.

Thank you.

Yes, mkfont_bdf allows bi-width font (requires that narrow font has just half width of wide font).
Usually Japanese fonts is a bi-width font, So I forgot to mention it in README.
I'll update README.
