New description:
When font hinting is enable, VL-Gothic isn't usable anymore in the
Terminal.
This font isn't a real "fixed" font, since it contains, like most Japanese
fonts, glyphs with normal and "double" width.
But the normal glyphs should have the same width, and in fact, it's
considered monospaced for the practical uses.
This also happen with Konatu Tohaba, although it should be a monospaced
font too.
The code which checks if the glyphs are fixed is in
AppearPrefView::IsFontUsable().
