description |
The character "▷" (Unicode code point U+25B7, "white right-pointing triangle") takes up more space than other characters. It extends outside of its bounding box such that it overlaps with the character immediately to its right.
Please see the attached screen shot for an example of the triangle overlapping with the character 'M'.
This triangle character is not the only one that is drawn too wide. U+25B6 is (somewhat trivially) another example. An even better example is the drachma sign, U+20AF, which overlaps the character that follows entirely.

When a character is not present in whichever monospace font you are using, Ubuntu chooses a proportional font to render it.
This is usually not desirable. In a terminal, for example, the proportional character is often too wide and therefore overlapped by the following character.
For example:
- bug 819708 (heavy line-drawing characters not lined up in Ubuntu Mono)
- bug 1116428 ('DOTTED CIRCLE' and 'BLACK CIRCLE' substituted from a wider font)
- bug 1094434 ("font lacks that symbols and use the ones from the other font which have incorrect sizes")
- bug 736613 ("the ! is rendered on top of the C")
- this bug as originally reported (U+25B7 white right-pointing triangle and U+20AF drachma overlapping with following characters).
This happens with multiple monospace fonts -- Droid Sans Mono, Terminus, TlwgMono Medium, and Ubuntu Mono -- suggesting that it is a problem with fontconfig, rather than with the individual fonts. |
