Wide characters like Chinese etc supported in v GUI libraries?

[LukyGuyLucky]

The general experience of working with V is excellent except one thing,maybe this is only me who encountered:
As far as I know there are ui/vlang, iui,mui which are all workable with the most recent v,but none of them support displaying Chinese characters properly.They all display a square in a controls's label,a textbox's content, a windows' caption,or a draw_text like graphics context.This is pity.

Does anybody handle this with no issue?If so,please share.

fyi.Below character for test if needed,especially the last two lines which are very challengable to many UI libraries.

Hello, world!
¡Hola Mundo!
Γειά σου Κόσμε!
Привет, мир!
こんにちは世界！
你好世界！
नमस्ते दुनिया!
👋🌎!

You might want to look at 353 and 412.

Thank you. Managed to make it work with

os.setenv('VUI_FONT','c:/Windows/fonts/simfang.ttf',true)

Right at this moment it seems only simfang.ttf works.
But not for below characters:
नमस्ते दुनिया!
👋🌎!

Try this (used in gui)

It seems it is not compatible with Windows

Additionally: 1) android is an issue too for GUI (surprisingly, MUI worked on android), 2) VUI's box_layout can be easier or faster (once understood or if percentages are preferred), 3) familiarity and maturity of project (something used before versus something different); same for jumping to or from IUI, MUI, etc...
