Summary0004305: Story editor does not correctly display Unicode characters using the default font
DescriptionTyping or pasting certain Unicode characters into the Story editor, they do not show, or show as an unprintable character. This is a font issue, with the default display font of the Story Editor.
Steps To Reproduce1. Open Story editor with default display font.
2. Open Character Map Program and copy various non-standard Unicode characters and paste into Story Editor, or insert by other means. In my case, I am concerned with: ????????????, which could be copied and pasted in to demonstrate.
At this point characters should not show.
3. Close Story Editor, with text box update.
Depending upon the
4. Open Story Editor.
At this point Characters should show as unprintable characters.
Additional InformationI Recommend that MS Serif not be the default display font for the windows build, and that a more robust font be used instead, as a works-correctly-right-out-of-the-box issue. Times New Roman and Ariel display the characters I am concerned with correctly. I recommend Times New Roman since it is the default font for text boxes.
TagsNo tags attached.
