I imagine Dennis has a Chinese version of whatever operating system he
is on. Chinese IMEs can produce these fullwidth characters. They are
used when embedding "Latin" words into Chinese text, because they are
fullwidth (and the Chinese characters in the surrounding text are
fullwidth too). This means everything lines up nicely when printed
out.

I wouldn't expect most people, especially native Chinese speakers, to
know or care about the difference between fullwidth latin characters
and regular (ASCII) latin characters. It seems to me a little unfair
to give Dennis a hard time about those characters, similar to picking
on someone about having a funny accent when they talk.

Regards the actual problem, Dennis, I have no idea what's going on
there. Sorry!

Cheers,
Gareth
