The font spacing in CJK is completely broken in 26.60. Please revert it.

The text spacing change for CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) languages implemented in version 26.60 is highly unreadable and has severely ruined the gameplay experience for native speakers. Currently, excessive and unnatural gaps are automatically inserted between every single character. For native speakers, reading this new font style feels exactly like trying to read English sentences with all the spaces completely removed (e.g., "HellomynameisMinecraft"). Because of this unnecessary wide spacing, pre-existing text on signs, books, and marketplace descriptions is being cut off or wrapped awkwardly, destroying custom maps and UI layouts. Furthermore, complex kanji characters are heavily blurred and smeared due to the forced 8x12 pixel size. While this update might technically look like a "fix" from an alphabetical perspective, it is a complete layout disaster for native speakers who read languages where characters are meant to be written closely together. This is not an improvement; it is a major step backward. Please revert the CJK font system to its previous state. "CJKのテキストを返せ"

    Even if Minecraft insists that this is an improvement or fix, it's meaningless if local speakers can't see and understand it, don't you think? (From a Japanese person)

    Minecraftがこれは改善や修正だと言い張っても、現地の話者が見て分からないと意味がないのでは？と思います。(日本人より)

    Absolutely. Idk whose idea it is to do this. First they change the colour of some of the colour codes, refusing to fix characters that make the whole line black when applied with glow squid ink for some reason, and now this.

    It's rather a terrible idea between merging Bedrock and Java to "same-ish style" when the obvious answer is that Bedrock and Java has the completely different player base and fans, and its own creative community that differentiates from each to their own (Especially JP community that im talking about for now)
    Look at how they WANT to merge Java and Bedrock to the point of the update destroying more than half of what we wrote and created including ANY form of text, seriously how will this update satisfy someone other than the player base who likely only plays minecraft bedrock to it's surface level?
    Not to mention that this update ABSOLUTELY ruins official Marketplace addons/worlds too, so you're basically making an actual damage to the revenue of YOUR OWN COMPANY.
    There literally is NO reason to keep enforcing this update. revert that ASAP please
