Hi, all.
Maybe it is different (I have no idea about Japanese typesetting, I can only speak Chinese, English, and Korean). - There are no "halfwidth punctuation" in most Chinese fonts. All the glyphs in those fonts are of same width. Only a small portion of Chinese fonts (like Adobe's OpenType fonts) contain these glyphs in certain features. - halfwidth glyph+0.5em minus0.5em ( = 1em) is not right, the punctuation should be compressed. some combinations like ：" should also be compressed.
Sorry for the noise... I just want to say that Li Yanrui's example does not show excellent Chinese typesetting. Maybe there is something wrong here... Yue Wang
