Add support for U+2326 ⌦ #153

Closed LilianValero closed 5 years ago

LilianValero commented 6 years ago

Hi, it seems that the delete MAC glyph is not rendered correctly in the v2.0.40. May you confirm, please? With the v2.040, we have: delete_item delete_rule Basically, we should have: fixed_delete_item

frankrolf commented 6 years ago

I assume you are talking about ⌫ U+232B, and I don’t think this glyph has ever been supported in Source Sans Pro. You can find fonts which support that glyph here: https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/232b/fontsupport.htm

Related to #97 Support for ⌫ U+232B was added in v2.040, in the upright fonts at least. Is it not there?

LilianValero commented 6 years ago

Yes it seems that upleft MAC glyph is there but not the upright MAC glyph.

LilianValero commented 6 years ago

Do you think that we can add someday the upright, please?

frankrolf commented 6 years ago

Oof, I apologize. I wasn’t aware of the addition and looked at an outdated file. However I can see the glyphs in the latest version of Source Sans Pro Regular:

yes but not the upright which corresponds to the DEL command.

frankrolf commented 6 years ago

Upright in this context means “not Italic”, and does not describe the shape of the glyph. Please clarify which glyph you are talking about by referring to a code point.

LilianValero commented 6 years ago

We'd like to use the upright:

delete glyph

for delete actions of our application. It seems that the upright are used by other applications like IntelliJ to delete items.

frankrolf commented 6 years ago

It always is easier to communicate using code points upfront – if you mean U+2326 ⌦, then my original statement is true: This character has not been supported in Source Sans Pro. It would be simple enough to add the glyph, however I’ll leave this decision to @pauldhunt.

FYI – upright does not mean right-pointing. Upright means “Roman, not Italic“.

LilianValero commented 6 years ago

Thks to investigate and sorry for the confusion.
