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?
Cheers,

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.

I displays them fine, 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.

Try DejaVu Sans Mono.
