But: * There's the private use area. Only a component with access to the font can know what would look right for these characters. (Or the user could configure that, i'm sure most users don't want to do that manually) * width mapping is a moving target as long as unicode evolves. With the current release cycle even a fast moving target. * Rendering breaks badly when values in the terminal and the client application don't match. (that happens to every terminal with a up to date table) * the usage of ssh with terminals means that connections will span systems with differently outdated libraries. * LD_PRELOAD hacks are not really a sustainable solution. For me that sounds a lot like there needs to be a single point of truth in every terminal session. As long as things move faster than installations update and there is no standard all stakeholders can agree on (and UAX #11 explicitly disclaims being for "modern terminal emulators") there needs *some* way for applications to get this information. From the terminals i looked at only urxvt really buys in to "trust the system libc". And konsole, vte and xterm (i have to assume) intentionally diverge from what libc does. I think from the perspective of a client library the equivalent of roughly one full screen update with a decently sized terminal in data transfer would be an quite attractive trade of ;) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Nice idea in kitty. Looks as intended, but is still width-compatible (assuming each indicator is wide). Since glib(c) assume the indicators are narrow, it could be possible to display one wide flag and keep compatibility with wcwidth-using software (i.e. everything in ncurses, shells). It would work on FreeBSD too (wcwidth works only for 16 bit code points, higher CPs are narrow).

There is already POSIX solution which could solve that - wcwidth() and wcswidth(). The latter could even calculate widths of joined emojis. Sadly, it works differently on every platform. And there are separate implementations in Go, Python, etc. This is why terminals and console programs sometimes try to make its own table which works the same (or at least is up to date) on every platform.

They should never reach this code. About the hangul: Konsole before this change did display NFD in a way that looked correct to my untrained eye. After this change decomposed forms are displayed as 1 wide and 2 narrow characters. At least OS X uses NFD for file names, so i would expect that these decomposed forms will end up in places where konsole will encounter them. For the regional indicator symbols: Those are a whole new bag of fun. I wonder how other terminals handle emoji joining... glibc and glib (vte) consider them narrow. Unifont and Noto consider them wide. And what users actually want to see is two of them joined together to be a flag(supported in Noto seems to be 2 cells wide, not supported in unifont). Konsole see two of them as 2 wide characters (i.e. 4 cells). Interesting enough kitty displays a flag which is 4 cells wide. Not sure how expected that is. I wonder how much sense it makes to deviate from what glibc says when the actual display is really not that great anyway (for flags / regional indicator symbols). I'm worried about proliferation of lots of slightly different width mapping functions that applications *somehow* have to know about. tangent: I think in the long run we need some way for applications to download the actually used width mapping from the terminal to get decent interoperability across versions and different machines in a network. I just notices that emoji joining is yet another aspect that needs to be kept in sync between terminal and the application. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Decoder does the conversion, so valid pairs are passed as another code point. I made regional indicator letters wide manually because of vim, and width in noto sans color emoji and emoji one. glibc 2.27 treat them as narrow, so I'm not sure which width should we choose. > vte combines hangul clusters so it's correct for them. It seems konsole does > so too so maybe it should also list them as combining like vte? I was thinking about this, also with emoji skin tones. Vim and glibc 2.27 treat them as separate and narrow, so I opted for compatibility rather than good look. I don't know Korean nor its input methods, but I read they are almost never used in normal text, as everything is already present in composed form as separate code points. I think it should not cause problems in real world use cases. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Git commit e74cf6c36642247f3f79194da373d01a00645d36 by Kurt Hindenburg, on
behalf of Mariusz Glebocki.
Committed on 03/10/2018 at 15:11.
Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'master'.
Use new character width code based on Unicode 11
Summary:
Adds a code for getting character width togeter with LUTs generated
using uni2characterwidth from Unicode 11 lists.
Skin tone, flags, gender, and other emoji with and modifer are not
joined (you will see e.g. a skin tone square + generic yellow emoji).
I think joining them would cause problems in most editors, command line
prompts, and other programs which use character width data, as the
characters would behave as combining or emoji depending on context (like
ligatures).
Examples:
* light thumb up: 👍🏻
* dark thumb up: 👍🏿
* Polish flag:🇵🇱
This behavior is allowed:
* https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/#Emoji_Modifiers_Display
* https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/#Emoji_ZWJ_Sequences
It is possible to add support for sequences, but those would work
only for a string width functions.
Some characters which can be presented as emoji are narrow (e.g. ✖️, ©️).
Those characters are listed without "presentation" mode, which means
they should be rendered as text by default (real presentation depends on
renderer and/or font). Noto Sans Color Emoji renders them as wide,
DejaVu Sans as narrow. Vim, bash and zsh treat them as narrow, so I made
them narrow.
https://unicode.org/reports/tr51/#Presentation_Style
Related: bug 378124, bug 392171, bug 339439
FIXED-IN: 18.12
Depends on D15757
Test Plan:
* Look at emoji_test.txt - emojis should look "normal" (two characters
width).
* Look at GLASS.txt - characters width should look correct.
* CharacterWidthTest should pass.
* perl -XCSDL -e 'print map{chr($_), " "} 1..0x'

I'm currently working on documenting the used width status of different terminal implementations and would be interested in comparing this to the others in my data set. I assume having a comparison would be useful for (possible) further development too. My current dataset includes glibc-2.24 (debian stable), glibc-2.28 (glibc latest release), konsole-v18.03.80, linux-4.17, unifont-11.0.02 (actual width of glyphs), xterm (latest) and vte (latest). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Committed on 30/09/2018 at 16:22. Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'master'. Add a tool for generating character width tables Summary: The uni2characterwidth tool, converts Unicode Character Database files into character width lookup tables. It uses a template file to place the tables in a source code file together with a function for finding the width for specified character. It also allows to generate few forms of lists with width data for debug and test purposes, or for future use as a replacement of Unicode files. Set `KONSOLE_BUILD_UNI2CHARACTERWIDTH` cmake flag to build the tool. Use `--help` argument for more detailed usage. There is a possibility to generate separate "width" for Ambiguous characters. It can be used to add ability to configure the characters width in Konsole settings. The `example.template` file contains all possible named tags, and some additional tags to show how to use them. Depends on D15756 Test Plan: Download files listed below from `11.0.0` and `emoji/11.0` directories on `https://unicode.org/Public/`. You can also directly use URLs to the files. * UnicodeData.txt * EastAsianWidth.txt * emoji-data.txt Generate any available list except compact-ranges (e.g. `details`): ``` uni2characterwidth \ -U UnicodeData.txt -A EastAsianWidth.txt -E emoji-data.txt \ -g details result.txt ``` The list should contain ranges for all possible widths (-2, -1, 0, 1, 2). You can choose some characters with a width you know and check how they were classified. -2 is a special non-standard width for ambiguous characters, which can be overriden by adding `-a 1` or `-a 2` parameter. With this flag, all ranges from -2 group should disappear and become assigned to selected width (1 or 2).

The change also prepares the codebase for a new code for determining character width. This way the change will barely touch existing code.
