Re: MATE desktop application "character map"

[gfp]

Hi Roman,

I do not think that it refers to the style of writing named "Sans".

Instead, it must be referring to the font,

Yes of course, I meant "font"
I expressed myself incorrectly, sorry.

It seems that "Sans" is a

default font in MATE.

I don´t know. I also don´t know how to find that out.

I thought, SANS is the default of the gnome package, I installed; or the default of UNICODE.

When the character is copied to another program, it should be possible

to format it into any font and any style, such as serif and sans
serif typefaces. From the perspective of Unicode, the character
does not change in the process, even if it looks differently.

Thank you for mentioning that, that´s an interesting point.
So it will be possible to change in the certain package.
I haven´t tried yet, but I believe it will be so.


thanks

Gottfried

But many signs are not displayed, because it says:
this sign is not included into "SANS"
So there are no options to choose different styles of writing.

Instead, it must be referring to the font, which appears to be under
the same name "Sans" for some reason. It seems that "Sans" is a
default font in MATE. Instead, in my installation, the application
indicates that the characters are absent in Cantarel, which is the name
of another font which is currently default in GNOME.

So, the missing characters are not for a different styles of writing.
Instead, those are entirely different characters, which are absent in
the installed fonts. In my installation, the Greek alphabet shows up,
but there are more exotic Greek characters, which are not included in
Cantarel font or in any other font I tried.

to format it into any font and any style, such as serif and sans
