nginx uses fixed-width font in autoindex, and this is 
fullwidth/halfwidth problem I'm not really want to dig into.  And, 
given the fact that different browsers misalign the above page 
differently, it won't help anyway.

I believe instead autoindex should be reworked to be able to 
produce XML and hence allow any layout via XSLT.  This will 
resolve the above issue by providing means to use layouts with 
proportional fonts.
