CTKLabel configure with Chinese string issue

[Corporation001]

Hello, If I configure CTKLabel with Chinese string, it will not show all the text.
Like the follow picture:

Correct Label will behave like:

hope you can fix it!
Sincerely.

Hello. Can you post the string itself and not an image, please. TY!

[felipetesc]

I will create some tests. By the way, did you added a blank space before the word ? I'm only curious about the result.

[Corporation001]

The string is "沒有選擇檔案".
Thanks!
about add a blank,I will have a try.

Whether I add a blank or not, I will get the same result.

I've tested this, and it works (Can you try please) :

import customtkinter
import tkinter



class TestApp(customtkinter.CTk):
    def __init__(self, str_to_test):
        super().__init__()
        self.num_of_frames = 0
        # self.state('withdraw')
        self.title("Webcam sample")
        self.geometry("800x600")
        self.create_ui(str_to_test)

    def create_ui(self, str_to_test):
        self.main_frame = customtkinter.CTkFrame(self)
        self.main_frame.pack(fill="both", expand=True)
        self.label_with_chinese = customtkinter.CTkLabel(self.main_frame, text=str_to_test)
        self.label_with_chinese.pack(fill="both", expand=True)


str_with_issue = "沒有選擇檔案"
app1 = TestApp(str_with_issue)
app1.mainloop()


str_without_issue = "你好我是 个有趣的标签"
app2 = TestApp(str_without_issue)
app2.mainloop()

Right now I'm using Garuda Linux 64.
Also, I found this post:

Perhaps, you need to add a custom font for the label, and call it. What's the default font from your system? Did You try using only Tkinter ? Because, if You find the same issue with tkinter, perhaps it's not something from ctk.

In regular tkinter, it works correctly.
I'm useing Windows 11,font is default by system.
I modded your code, it have a button to confugure the label.
It will cause the problem I have.

What is the name of the font that you are using? I will try to install on my side. Then, I'll create a test with it.
The code I sent has this result:

If you used the code I edited, it will display"新細明體(PMingLiU)" in Chinese Windows 11.

I have another computer is Windows 11 too. but I modifyed it's default font to "微軟正黑體(Microsoft JhengHei)"
I got the same result.

Hello. I installed both fonts and unfortunately I didn't encounter any problems again. But this problem is not happening with my pc because I don't use Windows. So I really think someone else with a Windows OS should help you out. This is frustrating, but I don't know what else I can do to help you.

[Corporation001]

def confg(self):
self.label_with_chinese.configure(text="你好我是一個有趣的標籤")

Do you mean this code is working fine under Linux? I'm curious how this works under Linux.
But this Bug is actually in Windows...

Just want to say thank you :)

No, at least in the past, it wasn't something possible. Now it's, since CTkLabel implemented the method configure at line 103 inside the file CustomTkinter/customtkinter/widgets/ctk_label.py. Everytime I needed to use configure I called like this:
self.label_with_chinese.text_label.configure(text="你好我是一個有趣的標籤")

[Corporation001]

Thanks! It worked.

For me this: "沒有選擇檔案" works fine with normal tkinter and customtkinter on macOS and Windows 10, so I will move this to discussions...
