You can check in this patch, but this is not the right thing to do. At the 
moment, it is impossible to know how many columns will be occupied by putting 
a byte until it is actually putted. This is very bad, and, of course, does 
not work well in some cases.

So, as I described before, it is necessary to implement a new function which 
returns the width for a given (Unicode) character. For the menu, I think it 
would be easier to convert all strings to Unicode strings before rendering. 
Writing bytes is very, very hard.
