Characters with accent marker not rendering properly
vSLG opened this issue · comments
Description
Characters with accent marker are not rendering properly on HackGen and HackGenNerd.
I find this font cool and I would use it every day, but this issue is holding me back. As my native language (portuguese) has some special unicode characters, HackGen can't render them properly.
I don't understand how fonts work, but I haven't seen this issue on other fonts, so I assume it's a font specific problem.
Environment
- OS: Void Linux, fontconfig is installed and working properly
- Terminal: Termite and Kitty
- Text editor: NeoVim and Visual Studio Code
How to reproduce
- Write any text that contais latin characters/accent markers: ´ ` ~ ^ á à â ã ç é è ê ẽ, etc
- Font shows unexpected behavior
On terminal (NeoVim) | On Visual Studio Code |
---|---|
![]() |
![]() |
Text used:
normal
nórmâl
car
çar
Expected behavior
Font renders correctly, with characters with accent marker having same width as other characters.
Thanks for the report.
First of all, I'm not very good at English, so I apologize if I didn't convey my intentions well.
Basically, HackGen is made for Japanese, so I can't guarantee that it will be displayed in any other language.
But I think you can solve this problem by changing the font family you use.
Try changing your font family from "HackGen" to "HackGen Console".
"HackGen" v2.1.1 on Visual Studio Code | "HackGen Console" v2.1.1 on Visual Studio Code |
