We're having vertical alignment glitches, whenever Chinese and English characters are added to the same line:

```
Sample line is, start with 议院众议院 and begin typing english afterwards.
Any Chinese character will do, probably any Ja/Korean as well.
```

Props to @kurzee for reporting this one.

Thank you Brent!

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Simplenote macOS editor by placing Chinese and English characters on the same line, then inspect the text-rendering entry point responsible for line layout. Done means mixed Chinese, Japanese or Korean and English characters remain vertically aligned; the issue names no source file or test to run.
