Description (last modified by un_spacyar)

Hi. On some sites, WebPositive does not render the icons properly. Just in case, I am using Haiku nighlty 32 bit (56475), and have the FontAwesome installed.

You can test loading this site: https://wallhaven.cc

On Otter or Dooble browser, the icons loads properly. But not on WebPositive. In easy to check this seeing the attachments :-)

Could you please add a rendering of another browser? In Safari iOS I don't see any icons.

The char you see looks like the missing glyph char, in which case you might try installing noto emoji, if that fixes an issue this would be a duplicate issue about webfonts.

Oh, sorry, I somehow missed the line with the other browser picture. :)

Hi! Thanks for the information. I tried installing the 'noto emoji' and 'noto emoji color' packages, but the issue persists. Thanks for the link to the ticket.

noto color emoji does not dp anything for haiku apps (iirc only qt supports this)

the noto emoji package might be a bit outdatad, if you feel adventerous you can try installing an updated versopn in non-packaged/data/ttfonts/ (iirc, foldername should match the one in /system) by downloading it directly from noto.

alternatively the glyphs could be in noto symbols or noto symbols 2, or maybe in none of these fonts at all :D

The Noto family won't do anything in this case, not even through substitution. Those are glyphs in the private area of Font Awesome 5 Pro.

As said in #13361, the problem is lack of support for downloading and using a font. There's some work for that in https://review.haiku-os.org/c/haiku/+/4790, and then we also have to update webkit to use it.

Meanwhile, the workaround is to install the required fonts. In this case, Font Awesome 5 Pro, which requires a license. The Font Awesome 5 Free available in Haiku Depot won't do.
