vim: Align plugin (Dr.chip) for unicode (e.g. Chinese/Japanese)

[ping]

hi experts (Dr. chip):
I tried Align plugin and found it cool! now comma (or other) seperated
files are not an issue...
http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#ALIGN
(plus the Sum plugin now I can even calculate the value like Excel..)
http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#SUM

the only obvious issue is that it might have issue align colomns when
there are chinese/Japanese charactors

are there any workaround?

thanks!

regards
ping

Try the csv filetype plugin. It allows to align the columns like in
Excel and also provides a Sum command.

Can you give me an example file where there's a problem? Also, see if
the help for :align-utf8 helps you.
Is the problem you're having with Align or with Sum?

I guess this align issue is related to Chinese character, or maybe my terminal. not sure it's Vim related...
please correct me if I'm wrong...
thanks!
