When I start weston-terminal in Japanese locale
the terminal is too wide.  I think it needs to be
able to handle fonts with wide-characters better.
(Also it seems only able to use a single font.)

This is with weston-1.1.0 (in current Fedora 19 development).

    Use the average width of ASCII glyphs for cell width
    
    As some CJK fonts are dual-width, calculate the average width of ASCII
    glyphs and use that instead of the max_x_advance of the font.  This is
    what VTE does too.
