Wrong/weird characters displayed on .fon (working Windows) version #4

Closed diffficult closed 6 years ago

diffficult commented 6 years ago

Nice work on the font, using it right now on my laptop but specially on a couple of raspberry pi attached to small lcd screens that display various info.

Just checked you also made a .fon version that technically works on Windows systems and even though it's pretty much working no problems I'm getting a weird "ÿ" character instead of "❯" when using it with ConEmu as you can see on my screencap.

The other font used is Knack NF which somehow has full support for every symbol I've seen so far.

Is this expected? Is it fixable?

Scientifica does include this character:

Looks like the .fon export did not include the entire character range, and hence defaulted to the last character U+00FF.

Should be fixed in the latest commit. Reopen the issue if not.

@NerdyPepper thanks a lot for checking it, the issue persist, this probably is a deeper issue on how ConEmu handles terminal/command line and fonts on Windows, which after reading a bit is "hacky" to say the least. Other fonts like DejaVu Sans Mono for Powerline or Hack also seem to work just fine and do not fail to present all the characters and some other bitmap fonts turned to .fon like lime instead of a "ÿ" char they present a "4" instead.

Besides that the font works perfectly fine on linux so far.
