I had an experience seeing how a Chinese types glyphs on iPhone IRL... I amazed how fast is it. They use so called "Pinyin" which is a system that uses the Latin alphabet to transcribe the pronunciation of Chinese characters. This is entirely an IME thing.

@xhawk18 Hello,

On v8.0.0-rc.13, CJK characters are rendered correctly. IME is required for CJK users to type.

Using AStylesheet and only full path of font file (failed to use "Microsoft Yahei UI") can show correctly.I guess that maybe there is somewhere can set global font without ass.
