  • Noto mikssing characters

    From Peter Flynn@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jan 11 00:08:00 2025
    I am getting missing character errors using Google's Noto fonts:

    There is no ␣ (U+2423) in font [NotoSansMono-CondensedMedium.ttf]
    There is no □ (U+25A1) in font [NotoSansMono-CondensedMedium.ttf]

    The first is the open-topped box, often used in documentation to signify
    a visible space (which would of course otherwise be an actual space, and therefore invisible); the second is the empty square box, often used to
    signify a missing character (somewhat ironic :-).

    Has anyone else found this, or have a solution/suggestion?

    Peter
