Can't use Shavian alphabet to name train stations.

Post by Trebor »

I accidentally had a Shavian keyboard active when trying to name a train station and nothing was displayed. ๐‘ฒ ๐‘จ๐‘’๐‘•๐‘ฆ๐‘›๐‘ง๐‘ฏ๐‘‘๐‘ฉ๐‘ค๐‘ฆ ๐‘ฃ๐‘จ๐‘› ๐‘ฉ ๐‘–๐‘ฑ๐‘๐‘พ๐‘ฏ ๐‘’๐‘ฐ๐‘š๐‘น๐‘› ๐‘จ๐‘’๐‘‘๐‘ฆ๐‘ ๐‘ข๐‘ง๐‘ฏ ๐‘‘๐‘ฎ๐‘ฒ๐‘ฆ๐‘™ ๐‘‘ ๐‘ฏ๐‘ฑ๐‘ฅ ๐‘ฉ ๐‘‘๐‘ฎ๐‘ฑ๐‘ฏ ๐‘•๐‘‘๐‘ฑ๐‘–๐‘ฉ๐‘ฏ ๐‘ฏ ๐‘ฏ๐‘ณ๐‘”๐‘ฆ๐‘™ ๐‘ข๐‘ช๐‘Ÿ ๐‘›๐‘ฆ๐‘•๐‘๐‘ค๐‘ฑ๐‘›.

Can train station names please support all UTF?

Thanks for the report. The issue seems to be caused by the font we are using that is not supporting all possible glyphs from all languages. Moving to ideas and suggestions.

The usual idea is to have a set of fallback fonts covering all Unicode characters.

I also believe there are open/free fonts that could be bundled with Factorio that cover all current glyphs.

That said, most glyphs are covered by the OS fonts, with a notable exception of country flags.
