To display entire multibyte character like Japanese.

[kntmrkm]

A character does not display entirely like below.

Are there a any solution?

Version is

• Version: 1.0.2

thanks.

I have a feeling this is related to the measurement of the height of the characters. @kntmrkm can you put this in a fiddle?

Actually seeing this in v2.1.4 as well in the x-axis label: https://jsfiddle.net/1zzbv13m/2/. Haven't looked much further into it yet though, possibly the scaleLabel.labelString positioning?

@sassomedia interesting, thanks for the fiddle. I think the multibyte character problem is due to the fact that you can't actually measure the height of the text on the canvas. The return of measureText only has the width property set because no browsers implement it. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/TextMetrics

@etimberg hmm, wouldn't the text height be equal to the font size? I think the issue is not so much related to multibyte character, just in general that the text is clipped. In @kntmrkm 's example, the "KakaoTalk" is cut as well. It just seems that it's more pronounced in v1 than in v2.

Added couple Japanese and Kanji characters to my existing fiddle, and it's actually fine, compared to the roman letters: https://jsfiddle.net/1zzbv13m/3/. I guess the type of font used might also play a role, as some go further below the baseline. Given that the font size spans the whole range of above and below the baseline, I think factoring in font size could work as a measurement.

@sassomedia right now the height is simply the font size. Some investigation is definitely required

@fulldecent this has been closed in error, see my comment above as it also affects v2. I guess the label was just not updated.

@fulldecent thanks!
