You have been subscribed to a public bug: The German glyph LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S (U+1E9E) is not currently in the Ubuntu font. Other free fonts frequently used in open-source contexts like DejaVu or Linux Libertine as well as the fonts of other recent operating systems have it: http://type.dt1.org/1e9e/google/ http://www.myfonts.com/search/char:%E1%BA%9E/all/?view=list So it would be nice if the Ubuntu fonts have this character eventually.

These are the same cake splices that are being used to split up work on the Ubuntu Font Family. 'ẞ' lives in the Latin Extended Additional block, and at the moment work is focusing on Arabic and Hebrew (fonts take a _long_ time to develop and it's not possible to do everything at once at the beginning, so the build-out will be gradual). On 29 June 2017, ẞ became an official part of the German alphabet. Please could you get anyone who needs this glyph to click the "Affects me" button at the top, as this will help to gauge what priority to focus on for each block/script/language to do next. ** Affects: fonts-ubuntu (Ubuntu) Importance: Low Status: Confirmed ** Tags: uff-dm-new uff-german uff-latin uff-latin-extended-additional uff-unicode-5.1 -- [1 new] Expansion: 'ẞ' LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SHARP S (U+1E9E) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/650498 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
