Description Hugh Pyle 2008-01-05 09:02:58 UTC

I have an album named "I <heart-symbol> Mekons".  The heart symbol (♥) is Unicode point 2665 (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2665/index.htm) and displays fine in the Web UI and Squeezebox UI.  But on Jive UI it shows as a "block" (box).

Comment 1 Richard Titmuss 2008-01-11 05:40:09 UTC

We need to check if the font includes this character. If not I wonder where the SB UI gets this glyph from.

Ben, Java has a good font viewer for checking this sort of thing. Let me know if you need details.

Comment 2 Ben Klaas 2008-01-11 07:18:37 UTC

When we get past 7.0, I'll ping you for details on the font viewer

Comment 3 Richard Titmuss 2008-03-12 04:53:31 UTC

Reset priority

Comment 4 Ben Klaas 2008-03-19 08:30:50 UTC

removing priorities from all 7.0.1 target bugs for re-prioritizing

renders fine on squeezebox UI, TP/SB3/Softsqueeze

so, looks like our SBC font doesn't support this symbol. What next?

Comment 7 Ben Klaas 2008-04-01 21:05:57 UTC

assigning to Richard for assessment. 

my guess is what we should do is nothing until we get a font that has full UTF-8 support, which will be after 7.0.1

Comment 8 Richard Titmuss 2008-04-02 02:38:39 UTC

I've checked the font, and this glyph is not included. We will have to look at this in a later release. Moving to 7.1 for now.

Comment 9 Richard Titmuss 2008-04-18 15:08:34 UTC

Dean, this needs a font with more glyphs. Suggestions?

Comment 10 Ben Klaas 2008-06-06 08:58:19 UTC

bump. Dean, comments?

Comment 11 Blackketter Dean 2008-06-09 22:16:05 UTC

We'll verify this when we add full unicode support.

Hugh:

Can you please retest this with SC 7.2, let me know if you still see this issue.  If you do, please attach a sample track that shows the issue.
