The Bug

Punctuation marks in CJK languages are supposed to be full-width (i.e. having the same width as a normal character), but Minecraft renders them incorrectly as half-width characters.

Here is an example:

Test string:

测，试。测；试：测'试'测"试"测（试）测、试《测》试

In game:

As you can see from the text box above, all the punctuation characters in the text string take up the same width as a Chinese character, while most of them in game does not have the correct horizontal bearing and advance.

Affected characters:

• ，
• ；
• ：
• （
• ）
• ？
• ｛
• ｝
• ［
• ］
• ！
