'Fixed Width' means just that. You manually set the width:
====
Help:
Text Import
Sets the import options for delimited data.
...
Fixed width
Separates fixed-width data (equal number of characters) into columns.
Click on the ruler in the preview window to set the width.
====

Chinese/Japanese etc are double-byte 8 bit characters. My guess would be
that 'Fixed Width' only uses standard ascii characters.

Perhaps you could post a sample file somewhere? Or perhaps test with the
file supplied here:
<http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/view.php?id=11360>
[http://www.mantisbt.org/bugs/file_download.php?file_id=2649&type=bug]
Note: that file is 'comma' separated - you can see in both the import
and when you open it in a standard text editor.

With regard to Henri & Dr. Stapf's posts: I think that you both may be
commenting on a different issue? I can copy & paste from a web site (I
used the link provided by Scott: http://blog.openoffice.com.tw/?p=100),

對於公司內部還有大量舊型資料庫來說，資訊人員或是基層人員的每天的例行任務
一定有一項是將資料庫內的營業資訊匯出成【純文字檔】其格式可能是【TXT或是
CSV】，而在大多數的客戶資料庫中，往往有很多資料品項都是用【中文】命名，
若使用官版OOo匯入的話，其內部的中文字會堆疊在一塊，造成不少的困擾，畫面
會如下圖所示：

還有大量舊型資料庫來說，and pasted into a single cell in Calc. Result
was that the cell adjusted width and displayed properly. However the
font was interpreted as WenQuanYi Zen Hei (same as you'll probably see
in this msg). Changing the font back to 'AR PL UMing TW' in Calc
resolved that issue for me.
