Gender symbol are inconsistent in Sans #24

Closed brouillon closed 3 years ago

Gender symbol female and male are not consistent with the other astrological symbols. Problem of line thickness like Arial but especially smaller and shifted on the left

♀ | ♁ | ♂ | ♃ | ♄ | ♅ | ♆ | ♇

The larger bolder symbols are not present in Liberation Sans. Only male (2640) and female (2642) exist. LibreOffice will automatically replace characters which are missing in the applied font with characters from another font which does have those characters. Those characters are most likely from Arial Unicode MS which does have all those astrological symbols. The only way to check this that I am aware of is to Export to PDF and then use your PDF reader to examine the fonts used for each character. If you want to use all the same size/weight characters then you will need to apply Arial Unicode MS as the font for that text (or use a Character Style). Or find another font which has all the astrological symbols.
