Define "support". Support like "oh, thanks god at least it works this bad" vs "works like intended i.e. like other languages"?
Could you also define what is a feature and what is a bug? Sadly main page doesn't provide this important definitions.

Marking this as "feature request" will not help at all.
Mojang support clearly states that they don't care about it:

@FVbico
It's a bug that these languages miss proper font since most of Western ones do have it. Could you explain how this inequality may be intended and planned?

@Markku
Yes, this issue is indeed old. I waiting far too long for Mojang to fix it without my intervention.
I miss days when there was no support for foreign languages at all. These days everybody patched their games with proper fan-made fonts (for example: http://mcdownloads.ru/_ld/12/1234.png ) which worked fine. But since Mojang released native support for it... things get worse.

>The unicode font is the proper font, for all languages.
I don't think so. Since unicode doesn't properly support formatting.

>solution is to enforce unicode rendering, adjust GUI scale to such that the text then looks readable
Yes, at least this would be better then now.

This bug may be divided into many other ones but I think its better to keep it as a proper support for other languages.

I feel terrible for being the only one affected by this issue here but I hope that you understand my situation.
Fancy formatting means a lot for many-many server owners. And its simply can't be achieved in my native language. That's sad.

Not every (even if its technically similar) but for languages which characters already present in-game. This is implemented and implemented poorly. I'm asking for fixing it.

Any explanation why support for some of the languages include proper font while other have to use unicode one (without formatting and issues with visual compatibility) is marked as intended behavior?

There is a difference between "every character" (yes, that would be a feature request) and characters from officially supported languages. That doesn't mean that deafult fount should support stuff like emoji. What is does mean that all supported languages should have the same look like the default language (currently they're not and this is not intended behavior therefore its bug).

How do I summon a guy who did it?

I don't see why this may be intended. Could you name a reason?
I have a few why it's not.

Issue is not resolved despite the status. Mods, please update the status.

I updated the issue to make it more clear. Font do means a lot even if specifically you don't care about it.

Updated affected version to 1.9.3 pre-release 3.

Here is a good example.

Thanks. Is the new name ok? Or you insist on your title?

Main issue isn't about "oh, I can't see it from large distance". It's about style compatibility of different languages. Unicode wasn't meant to fit Minecraft font style. This ruins game esthetics for non-English players. And the sad thing that they can't report it for obvious reasons: most of the players affected by this issue don't speak Enlgish and surely don't know about this bug tracker.

This is why this issue should have higher priority despite amount of votes.

This issue title is misleading: it doesn't cover how much it affects non-English speaking players. Info about bold (§l) is also missing.
