The Reality

Might be a MUI2 issue. I remember seeing similar f-ed up line wrapping issue on the dev build of GTCEu, which is under migration to MUI2 too. No such issue on the current released version of GTCEu, also judging from the fact that there's no reports nor discussions about this so far, at least from my search result, this might be the thing.
Kind of sure this won't get any better for English as the in-game language.
Tried tuning each and every config back and forth on SmoothFont, no luck. (EDIT: Scroll down) Switching back to the default font fixes this.
Please let me know if this do be an MUI2 issue and actually purely upstream that has nothing to do with GTNH and fixing it in its branch is out of the plan, so I could report it there.

Angelica is not compatible with most of what SmoothFont does.
You can try disabling enableFontRenderer in the config file and restarting the pack

i already got that disabled and besides the wrapping thing its working all fine this whole time. smoothfont wont even work with angelica's renderer enabled.

SF is already on our list of known incompatibilities because it changes a lot of font rendering code

these screenshots from 1.12.2 GTCEu dev build might be able to further proof it being an MUI2 and SmoothFont problem but not at all about Angelica. The instance doesn't have any 1.12 port of Sodium and Iris for 1.12 isn't even a thing.

Closing this makes sense as it's not really a GTNH nor its MUI2 fork's issue but it's just not on Angelica.

[Caedis]

What happens if you fully disable Angelica?

[ChromaPIE]

Just got off pc but i think we'd get the same result. as i mentioned the 1.12 instance above doesn't have any Sodium/Iris backports, the machines which hasn't been migrated to MUI2 display texts just fine, but all MUI2 ones got the exact same problem.

FYI most of the GUIs in GTNH are still written in MUI1.

[ChromaPIE]

Sorry for that but I made that assumption simply based on my experience with the released/dev build of GTCEu. this is also described above. the problem on MUI2's end is still solid tho. How both GTNH and GTCEu are malfunctioning exactly the same way when dealing with auto wrapping with custom fonts makes it literally feel like they share the same root cause. But again, I'm sure Angelica has nothing to do with it.

Until you try without Angelica, we wont know.

Update: pretty bizarre thing happened, diabled Angelica, game frozen on loading and the whole system freaked out, can't terminate process, can't even reboot. I'm sure something about the system got broken already. The second try had Angelica on and SF off, still froze the game. btw it's not just minecraft, everything else started acting up for some reason, can't open/close/random unresponsive.. On my way recovering the system right now.

There might be some way more complex stuff happening to my device and because of that I won't, though really want to, continue testing things out.

I have to highlight it that it's just to explain why I can't continue helping with testing stuff about the issue. It is just a simple auto wrapping problem that's possibly caused by the GUI's bad support for custom font. I suspected that it might be caused by MUI2 or similar feature GTNH's fork(s) has to deal with text wrapping, and gave my point. But with all due respect there's really no point keeping this in Angelica's repo simply because the two mods are incompatible. As I mentioned above, having that config on kills SF's modification to font as a whole, it won't work at all but won't cause any fatal problem either.

Imma give my final request to move it back to the main repo but if y'all insist I have no other choice.

[ChromaPIE]

risked it all and gave it a try. Without Angelica.

And when using default font
