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

TL;DR

Adjusting the character width calculation to account for full-width Chinese characters may resolve the terminal UI rendering issue.

Guidance

• Verify that the TUI rendering engine is correctly configured to handle full-width characters, potentially by checking the character width calculation logic.
• Investigate if there are any existing options or settings in hermes --tui to adjust character width handling for CJK characters.
• Consider testing with a different terminal emulator to isolate if the issue is specific to Windows Terminal or browser-based terminals.
• Review the code responsible for rendering Chinese text to ensure it correctly accounts for the full-width nature of these characters.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without access to the hermes source code, but the fix would likely involve adjusting the character width calculation to treat Chinese characters as 2 cells wide instead of 1.

Notes

The solution may depend on the specific implementation details of the hermes --tui rendering engine and how it handles character widths. This guidance assumes that the issue is indeed related to the character width calculation as suggested in the possible cause.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adjusting the character width calculation or handling in the hermes --tui configuration or code, as upgrading to a fixed version is not mentioned as an option in the provided issue.
