[0.17.24] Missing Unicode characters

Post by tak3r »

Unicode characters in station names don't appear anymore.

Before I was able to use some unicode characters in train station names, like "⬅" and they would show up normally up till 0.17.24 (see screenshots for before/after)
They now all show up as empty space

running on Windows 10

I noticed the same with the Blueprint names. Unicode characters (🗲❖⚠❆⟁⚒☢) are shown as space (so they are not visible), but they are still there if I copy+paste them to notepad.
Windows 10 - English.

This happened after 0.17.23 to 0.17.24 update

Same behaviour noted for me as well using unicode geometric shapes (https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/block/U+25A0):
Many unicode characters are replaced by spaces.
I replicated this behaviour in the en, fr, ko, and zn-TW locales.

For the ru locale I got "blank boxes" instead.

Thanks for the report, this is fixed for the next release by reverting to the previous font.
