Some people are unhappy that jisx0201 fonts are used for ASCII
characters if language-environment is set to Japanese.

I have modified the behavior so that this now only happens if this is
the only way to achieve a 2-1 font width ratio between
japanese-jisx0208 and ascii.  Similarily for Korean and Chinese.

In the next beta.

	Mule to XEmacs.

	* lisp/mule/mule-x-init.el (x-use-halfwidth-roman-font): New
	function:
	 "Maybe set charset registry of the 'ascii charset to ROMAN-REGISTRY.

	Do this only if:
	 - the current display is an X device
	 - the displayed width of FULLWIDTH-CHARSET is twice the displayed
	   width of the 'ascii charset, but only when using ROMAN-REGISTRY.

	Traditionally, Asian characters have been displayed so that they
	occupy exactly twice the screen space of ASCII (`halfwidth')
	characters.  On many systems, e.g. Sun CDE systems, this can only be
	achieved by using a national variant roman font to display ASCII."
