Since I found this: http://blog.macromates.com/2006/multi-stroke-key-bindings/
I'm using it a lot, and it is really nicer to type ⌘A than Cmd-A, when writing all documentation, support mails etc. I've tried to use those ⌘⇧⌥← when editing some markdown blog post content, and I was quite surprised that TM displays them heavily condensed, making them totally unreadable.
I tried with few fixed-width fonts, nothing helps. Is there any way to cure that?

Try using the DejaVu Sans Mono font http://dejavu.sf.net. It's a font based on the Gnome Vera fonts (you might know Bitstream Vera Sans Mono), with a wider range of characters.
DejaVu Sans Mono should also display those glyphs properly.

(...) but they are wider than the spacing allows for. They are fine as long as they follow a whitespace character.
That's it, keystroke characters from "⌥⌘S" are overlapping each others, so they're totally unreadable in TM, while this problem exists neither in TextEdit nor Mail (those apps displays them correctly). I think then it is just TM problem, that counts the width for those characters incorrectly.

Well, not really. TextMate assumes the fonts it works with are mono- spaced. But those characters 'break out' of the monospace box for that font in as that they are wider. So it is actually a font problem. Of course making those characters look good within the same bounds other characters use would probably be a challenge.
