hterm: renders certain Unicode characters too narrow |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Issue descriptionChrome Version : Google Chrome 63.0.3239.140 (Official Build) (64-bit) Revision 0 Platform 10032.86.0 (Official Build) stable-channel panther Firmware Version Google_Panther.4920.24.26 URLs (if applicable) : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/secure-shell/pnhechapfaindjhompbnflcldabbghjo What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) On a ChromeOS device, set the Fixed-width font to `Droid Sans Mono`. (2) In the Secure Shell extension options, set font-family to `monospace` and all encoding options to `utf-8`. (3) Open a Secure Shell connection to a system that supports UTF-8 text. (4) In the SSH connection, run `echo -e '\u2308\u2309X\n X'` What is the expected result? The echo command prints two lines. The X characters in each line should align vertically. (They are each the third character in the line, and the terminal font is supposed to be monospaced.) What happens instead? The X on the first line is too far to the left. The two preceding characters, LEFT CEILING and RIGHT CEILING, are rendered narrower than the rest of the characters in the font. (See the attached screenshot.) The steps to reproduce the issue here are a reduced example; in practical use, the problem is particularly acute when using split windows (as under emacs, tmux, or screen).

> this is really a bug in the font for not actually being monospace. Yeah, unfortunately I can't seem to install custom fonts on ChromeOS ( https://crbug.com/320364 ), so I can't fix the issue by using a different font. (All of the preinstalled fonts on ChromeOS exhibit this problem.) At any rate: falling back to a non-monospace glyph without fixing up the spacing seems like a rendering bug, not a font bug...
