Chinese character does not show up

[johntheocs]

I am wondering if this issue is related to font setting or rendering. Thanks for this amazing work.

Have you tried using the latest main? There are unreleased changes that add in font fallback support

[johntheocs]

Yes, it works with the latest main. But the font is a little strange, different from other applications.

[CosmicHorrorDev]

That could be up to whatever font ends up getting selected. You can set your default regular font in a config file that's described a bit here

Inlyne:

other application (Typora)

Weird. Problems with the bold text and italic, but the normal text is fine.

[CosmicHorrorDev]

Hmmm, that looks like it may be selecting different fonts for different characters? That does seem really odd

We're currently using a fork of cosmic-text to handle font stuff, so it's possible that the issue will get resolved as cosmic-text matures

[johntheocs]

Yes, there is an open issue there: pop-os/cosmic-text#114

I am using Zed editor, which is GPU powered too, but does not have this type of issue.

[johntheocs]

Lapce editor is using a forked version of cosmic-text: https://github.com/lapce/cosmic-text, which works well.

You can try adding that repo as a patch to the Cargo.toml file and see if it resolves the issue. We'll need an actual published version next time we go to cut a release though
