Unicode support

Description

Hi, after a recent update, which involved Noto ( #18793 ? ) and Freetype, it seems it lost the support for a lot of Unicode symbols, in the attached images there are some examples, Character Map showing playing card before and after the update, but it can be observed everywhere, i.e. I use curl wttr.in?format=2 to show the current weather in terminal as a oneliner, now there are no symbols, before the last update they were there)

If you set the font to Noto Sans Symbols 2, you have the cards. Perhaps is it a fallback problem?

Are the symbols there if you use another font? e.g copy it from charactermap and put it into fontdemo and select one noto symbols font.

What packages changed between your updates?

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

The name of the font changed in the new package form Noto Sans Symbols2 to Noto Sans Symbols 2. Fallback fixed in hrev57591.

Do we need to port this change to the beta4 branch as well?

comment:5 by madmax, 3 months ago

I think so. No problem with the iso, but once you update you get the new noto package.

comment:6 by nephele, 3 months ago

In beta4 we should add this as an addition to the fallback, not a replacement.
