The firmware automatically calculates where to break the line so that it fits onto multiple lines on the display.

The firmware does not support New Line or Carriage Return characters, becasue the font is only 8 bit and the firmware uses a special mapping to use all 255 characters to allow for accented characters from multiple charactersets to be combined into this custom font
And If I add blank spaces next the name? I can force new line when I want?

In what, the whole world DMR database ? That will take a lot of time to process, or you'd better write a script to manage that processing.

Also, you can't do that for talker alias.

About the rest of the codeplug contacts/channel, it's limited to 16 characters.

The code tries to cut the lines to make it fit nicely on the screen, and it handles unknown content, there is no standard, it's up to the data the user has registered.
