[nhed]

also narrow characters like yod or vav are bloated

Though they render fine in termux-widget

[MatanZ]

I posted a PR that should fix this (original) issue. The second issue, reported by @nhed is caused by termux scaling characters to the correct width. It can easily be fixed by using a monospace font that includes Hebrew characters.

Does this PR fix Arabic language also (which is RTL language also)?

I think it should, but I am not certain, and did not test many scenarios. Please try and tell me.
