[BETA] PDF: some characters do not appear at all on certain places #1051

Closed TrapinchO closed 2 years ago

TrapinchO commented 3 years ago

Polyglot version: Windows BETA from 24th November 2021

Unrendered characters: ě ů č ď ň ř ť ť (and probably more I didn't test)

places:

note: after testing Charil SIL font online, it seems it might be font's fault

DraqueT commented 3 years ago

Double checked this and that is the case. I chose Charis because its is overall pretty good with character rendering, but no font is perfect. As it stands, PolyGlot can check to see whether all characters render correctly with the Tools->Check Language feature, and any words that contain problems will be brought back in the result dialogue.

Still appears to me. Both conlang and local fonts were set to "arial" and "calibri", characters are still missing. "Check language" shows only errors related to ungenerated pronunciations for my temporary lexicon entries (which is correct).

TrapinchO commented 2 years ago

Please reopen.

Also, the pdf font seems to be independent on the font choice in polyglot. (which causes the characters to be missing)

DraqueT commented 2 years ago

Well shoot. This might be an OS specific issue. You're running Windows 10, right? I'll see if I can't reproduce it in a VM.

TrapinchO commented 2 years ago

yeah, windows 10

DraqueT commented 2 years ago

Alright, found the cause of this. The testing process I used didn't match PolyGlot's actual interaction with the library... all fields were being set to the local language font... which was never passed in. X|

TrapinchO commented 2 years ago

buggy latest build, table of contents. Local language name: čeština ě ů č ď ň ř ť ť (only eština displays, as you can see)

The rest seems to be working correctly.
