[Bug] Japanese characters rendered incorrectly on avatars

[gageas]

Hello from Japan!
I found that initial letter of user name displayed as blank rectangle(□), which indicates character code is invalid (Mojibake).
This problem happens when user name contains multi-byte characters such as Hanzi
Please see attached pic.

In this example, I git inited new repo, then make a commit with user name 漢字 名前.

I'm not sure what happening inside, but guess that taking first one byte of name instead of first one letter.

Hi ! But where is that blank rectangle on the screenshot?

[DanPristupov]

Ah, I see. The avatar icon :).
@TanyaPristupova please have a look.

I just checked, the abbreviated text is correct (漢名).

The WPF rendering is the problem. It can't draw such text on a canvas. Not sure why.

Thank you for super quick response.

Yes it is. Others are fine.

Then, how about font?
Can you try Japanese or Chinese font such as "SimHei" and "Yu Gothic"?

"Meiryo", "Meiryo UI" and "SimHei" don't work.

Surprisingly, "Yu Gothic" solved the problem.

I'll try to use "Yu Gothic" as a fallback font, but I don't promise it will always be like that. Hopefully other people won't have problems. We will see in 1.29.

I'd propose you to use latin transliteration of your credentials to be sure it's displayed correctly.

Oh, it's mystery. 😅
I'll write a feedback after trying 1.29.

That's true.
I think it is reasonable to giving up to support non-latin name, if having trouble.

1.29 just came out. Please check for updates.

Thanks!
1.29.1.0 works perfectly!!
