Full-width punctuations, numbers and letters are stretched and not correctly positioned in the new unifont, which is unreasonable and makes them sometimes difficult to read.

Can confirm.
This is related to different standards of font making; Corner-justified rule applies for GB (China mainland) and JIS (Japan) standards, while making most of them center-aligned applies for CNS (Taiwan) standard. Since Unifont inherits the CJK part from Unibit, which follows GB standard, I'd support to making it corner-justified, but it would be not as good for CNS standard users (mainly Traditional Chinese users).
To really solve this problem, we will have to include several CJK fonts inside the game (e.g. Noto Sans provides CN/TW/HK/JP/KR, 5 variants iirc), and choose the corresponding one for each language.
Can confirm in 1.18.1. Also, in Japan, corner-justified rule for Affected Characters are not use.
