+		Specify overrides for cell widths of character ranges.  This
+		tells Vim how wide characters are, counted in screen cells.
+		This overrides 'ambiwidth'.  Example: >

+		The {list} argument is a list of lists with each three
+		numbers. These three numbers are [low, high, width].  "low"
+		and "high" can be the same, in which case this refers to one
+		character. Otherwise it is the range of characters from "low"
+		to "high" (inclusive).  "width" is either 1 or 2, indicating
+		the character width in screen cells.
+		An error is given if the argument is invalid, also when a
+		range overlaps with another.
+		Only characters with value 0x100 and higher can be used.
+
+		To clear the overrides pass an empty list: >
+		   setcellwidths([]);

 setcharpos({expr}, {list})				*setcharpos()*
 		Same as |setpos()| but uses the specified column number as the
 		character index instead of the byte index in the line.
