 Description   

If any non english alphabet characters are used, the text chat becomes double spaced. This make the text chat very hard to read for those using non-english characters such as Chinese, Japanese, or Russian.

This bug was not present in 0.14.1, but is present in 0.14.2 and 0.14.3.

See example images for how text chat looked in 0.14.1 and how it now looks in 0.14.3.

To reproduce; just type in chat and use a Euro sign or any non english character. The character does not have to be at the beginning of the line; it can appear anywhere in the line. The smaller size text is normal in MCPE for non-english character sets, and looks fine, but the double spacing is a bug.

Thanks for catching the duplicate. I did search quite a bit before posting the bug; but didn't think to use the word "font". I tried keywords text, double space, etc. I hope this is something they are working on.
