Fix Upper Case J on keyboard so it looks like a J #54

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Go to the keyboard on the browser
2.Click shift or caps lock
3.Look where the J should be, it isn't a J 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
See a J, instead see a weird looking symbol

What version of the product are you using?
0.6

Please provide any additional information below.
This should be an easy fix, but I noticed the uppercase J is not a J, 
instead it looks like an upside down t or something. It does this when it 
is inputted also, not just when you look at it on the keyboard.

Heh, it does look odd! :-) 

Surprisingly, it is quite tricky to fix "properly", though I could always fudge 
it...

I've got a script that generates an image of letters from a true type font, 
plus the
font "metrics" (width, height, ranges of characters, etc). Unfortunately, it 
seems to
generate crap like this J and also problems like the one in r852 (Disappearing
underscore). I'll have a think about how best to work around this, or maybe I 
need to
pass some magic flags to the library calls...

uh oh, I guess I said "should be an easy fix" to fast! Again, I know nothing 
about 
what it takes to program anything, so I'm sorry about my misjudgement :-O

Finally fixed this one too in 0.8. The font generation was changed to the one 
in the
now-defunct Okiwi browser.
