People don't usually expect text to be laid out in a grid. Think how hard that would be to read in real life. You can vary inter-word spacing just like for Latin-based languages.
I'm not sure where you live, but the easiest thing to do is go to your local Chinatown and take a look at a Chinese language newspaper...
