What I did:
use any program that renders a title bar with east-asian text

What I saw:
title bar text is not centered

What I expected instead:
title bar text should be centered like ascii text

Sorry, we can only support the latest major version. Please upgrade from 4.11 to 4.13, verify the bug still exists, and re-open this issue.

Are you referring to text not being centered vertically in the window titlebar? If so, this seems to occur if there are any non-ASCII characters and it affects current master.

Screenshot showing the issue, where the "middle dot" (·) character seems to be the culprit:

Indeed I am

I don't seem to see the issue if the text is non-ascii and non east Asian text, but the screen shot you posted is definitely what I am seeing

[Airblader]

Are you using a pango font?

[ixjlyons]

@Airblader for me, yes -- I was using font pango: Tamzen 10 (Tamzen is a bitmap font). Switching to font -misc-tamzen-medium-r-normal--13-94-100-100-c-70-iso8859-1 and the title is now centered.

[fawaf]

yep, i am using the pango font.

[fawaf]

can this issue be re-opened?

[Airblader]

I'll reopen for now, but there's a good chance this is an issue with the font or pango.

[stapelberg]

I can reproduce this with font pango:DejaVu Sans Mono 8 by using mkdir 有 && cd 有 (my terminal shows the current working directory in the window title) — the font will be positioned a little bit higher than when only latin characters are displayed.

Should be fixed by #3340.
