| Summary | 0000149: Characters not showing up correctly in browser, shell and other applications | ||||
| Description | It was reported by @darthgelum, that the double parenthesis characters are not showing up correctly in a Workstation install. I was testing with both Graphical Server and Workstation installs and both show the same behavior of missing characters (showing placeholder characters). This was further checked with a fully patched RHEL 9.0 system, which was showing the same behavior. Also further this was tested both on a hardware system with the proprietory NVIDIA driver as well as in a VMware ESXi environment as a VM. For comparison I tested this on a fully patched Fedora Workstation installation, which shows the characters just fine. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | - Install a Graphical Server or Workstation installation - Open the browser and visit the page https://unicode-table.com/en/blocks/supplemental-punctuation - You will see many placeholder characters | ||||
| Additional Information | As this is a upstream bug, please handle this more as documentation than a Rocky Linux specific bug. Thank you! | ||||

Back tracking, here is the RHEL bugreport: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2108245 |
 |
It could be fixed by installing font with full utf8 table support. For example, julia mono https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/shassard/juliamono-fonts/ |
|
|
As mentioned in the RHEL bugreport, this issue got fixed in the npm package. Browsers are still affected, but I don't really see any moving forward as the mindset looks to be that the websites should provide their own or 3rd party online available fonts. -> we can close this now @darthgelum I hope you also have this impression! |
