Description frob 2001-11-09 08:28:26 UTC 
How to reproduce:
1. open new table
2. type "AAAAA" in A1
3. align A1 to right
4. switch kbd to cyrillic and type "AAAAA" in B1
5. align A2 to right
6. look at print preview.
-----------------------------

I added:
1. sample table with centred and right-aligned latin/cyrillic text
2. screenshot for it

URL for font I used in the table
// URW NimbusSans (aka Helvetica) extended with cyrillic //
is ftp://ftp.gnome.ru/fonts/urw/nimbussans.tar.bz2

Hmm, I can not replicate this with the default fonts in debian.  Can you debug
this at your end ?  I'm betting that we are getting invalid (probably 0)
measurements of strings.

Frob tracked the issue to parseAFM where an array of 256 widths is used to
store glyphen widths.  However, all of the urwfonts have more than 256
characters
