Issue

When using emacs with IPA Gothic font, emacs will have incorrect window size.
An 80x31 emacs window can actually display 145 characters per line.
Note:
- I am using 003.02-1 package from Snapshot 2 for the IPA fonts, which fixes a problem with the spacing between characters in the 003.01-4.1 package from RHEL6 beta 1.
