When I open the webpage
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/miscellaneous_symbols_and_arrows.html
in FF I can see, for example, character ⬑ (U+2B11). However, when I
cut and paste the character in OOo Writer, it does not display it.
Normally it copies and pastes font, size, etc. but in this case it
uses the specified default font.
Can somebody explain to me what is going on? How does FF (or TB)
displays it and OOo does not?
It is nearly impossible to answer your question without additional
information:
What version of OOo do you have?
3.1.1
What version of Firefox
3.5.7
and Thunderbird do you have?
2.0.0.23
What operating system are you using?
1) If Windows, which version?
Vista Home Basic SP2
2) If Linux, which distro and architecture
For what it's worth, I copied and pasted 2B11 from the web page into a
page in Writer 3.1.1 and it appeared correctly.
When I copy the character from _your_ message to the Writer, it has font
Courier New (v. 5.0) and appears as an empty square.
When I copy the character from my message, it appears as an blank space
having font my default, Liberation Mono.
I should add that the
character appeared correctly in my mail reader also (Claws Mail). And
it also appeared correctly in Firefox.
As I said, it appears OK in TB and FF over here too.
May I also ask with what font did the character appeared correctly in
your Writer?
I downloaded the latest version of Deja Vu fonts and now it appears OK
with them (except in the Deja Vu Sans Mono), but not with any other
fonts that I've tried so far.
