Re: Font Symbol

by Luis Ferro :: Rate this Message:

It seams so... some symbols which doesn't exist in normal fonts (weird unicodes to start with) just disapear from the text and are replaced with a "#"... After i switched the italic to normal, the characters reapeared.

(this is in the somewhat new thrunk-svn of the start of August)

This didn't happened in the older version...

Seems correct more or less, but now that you mention it: it does
switch the whole font, right? While it is actually only the font-
style component that makes it impossible to locate the font.

It doesn't seem too difficult to alter FontInfo.java to make it first
look for a font with the same name/weight, but with default font-style.

Anyway, I'll give other devs a chance to chime in before I start
fiddling with it. If no objections arise, I'll probably commit this
small change during the weekend.

Cheers,

Andreas
