我也有相同的问题，奇怪的是在 WSL2 没有这个问题

[w4ngzhen]

Same problem. Both windows cmd and WezTerm.

[soluty]

我这里也是碰到一样的问题了,似乎就是lazygit本身的bug和终端无关, cmd,windows terminal和wezterm都有类似问题.

I have the same problem among wezterm/cmder and windows terminal.

None-ASCII font. Font sometimes rendered but soon disappear after moving mouse.

The behavior can be found in wez/wezterm#3705

[captainfffsama]

I have the same problem on windows terminal and git-bash...powershell have same problem

[lyj404]

I have the same problem

[zguiyang]

I have the same problem

[hwgao]

Version 0.37.0 doesn't have this issue.

[lyj404]

I feel like this issue has been forgotten

[godsay1983]

This is not friendly to the Chinese.

On Linux, I use kitty and it works fine
but when it comes to windows terminal, this problem occurred, and sometimes even broke the commit window's border

[jesseduffield]

It sounds like this issue is specific to windows. Are there other TUIs on windows that correctly render chinese characters? It would be good to find out whether this is an issue on our end or an issue with the terminal

As a refrence, gitui works fine in windows with windows terminal

[jesseduffield]

That's good to know. So it's an issue on our end, now we just need to know where the issue comes from. We use tcell to render to the terminal, and it does have a couple open issues relating to rendering chinese characters:
gdamore/tcell#621
gdamore/tcell#291

[Penguin-SAMA]

I have the same problem.

If this issue can't be fixed promptly, how can I change the default display language of lazygit in Windows?

[mark2185]

@Penguin-SAMA set the language in your config.yml, it's the language key.

[Penguin-SAMA]

@mark2185 After I changed the language key value to 'en', I am unable to run lazygit.

[mark2185]

Just to confirm, the config.yml looks something like this?

gui:
  language: 'en'

If it does look like that, could you please clarify what happens when you run lazygit?

[Penguin-SAMA]

Sorry, I made a mistake in my previous message. It's working fine now. Thank you for your help.

[road2coder]

@jesseduffield It seems the problems started with v0.38.0. v0.37.0 works fine.

gdamore/tcell#621 has been resolved. I compiled lazygit using the updated tcell, and now Chinese characters are displayed correctly.

[stefanhaller]

That's awesome. I'll take care of bumping the tcell dependency.

Could those of you who reported this problem and who are able to build from source please test if #3352 fixes the issue? Thanks!

@stefanhaller @qrsp I cloned and executed the latest code, and the issue with displaying Chinese characters has been resolved. I am deeply thankful for the contributions of both individuals.
