hermes - 💡(How to fix) Fix [TUI Bug] Chinese text rendering: character scattering and ghosting [3 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Adjusting the character width calculation in the TUI rendering engine to account for full-width Chinese characters may resolve the rendering issue.

Guidance

• Verify that the TUI rendering engine is correctly handling full-width characters by checking its documentation or source code for character width calculation logic.
• Test the hermes --tui command with other full-width character sets, such as Japanese or Korean text, to see if the issue is specific to Chinese characters.
• Consider using a different terminal or environment to isolate if the issue is specific to WSL2 or Windows Terminal.
• Review the screenshots provided to ensure that the issue is not related to font or encoding settings.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue seems to be related to the internal logic of the hermes command and its TUI rendering engine.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the combination of WSL2, Windows Terminal, and the hermes command. Further investigation is needed to determine the root cause and develop a comprehensive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjust the character width calculation in the TUI rendering engine or use a different terminal/environment until a fixed version of hermes is available, as the issue seems to be related to the internal logic of the command.
