Hi,
with the Noble upgrade I'm missing the Ubuntu Unicode symbol.
I thought it might have been my setup, but I now have confirmation from 1 other Noble and 1 other Mantic user that it is missing - while I checked and on Jammy it is still present as of now.
To re-check you want to see F0E0-1F in a ubuntu font
for example via
1. go to http://www.tamasoft.co.jp/en/general-info/unicode.html
2. scroll to the line starting with F0E0
3. go into the browsers debugger and change the style to
font-family: Ubuntu, "times new roman", times, roman, serif;
4. You will see the symbol in the last column
I'll attach a few images showing the problem in Noble as of now.
1. a view of this in Firefox on Noble "ubuntu-unicode-nowFF.png"
2. a view of this in Chrome on Noble "ubuntu-unicode-nowChrome.png"
3. a view of the stripped down table as attached "TestPrivateAreaUbuntuFont.html" rendered as "table-noble.png"
And for comparison:
4. the same table line rendered on Jammy with the Ubuntu symbol present in the last column "ubuntu-unicode-was-set-jammy.png"
This was using https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_Use_Areas as discussed in e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/144379/ubuntu-logo-into-unicode-table. That is why you'd only see it in the Ubuntu font - which is fine, but why was it lost there?
AFAICS the changelog of the package had no mention of this being dropped intentionally.
But it had a few "New upstream version", yet checking that was not insightful either to decide if that was intentional.
In fact all that 0.869 I can't really track down (0.84 is in development), but that might be my lack of knowing this particular project.
P.S. This might have been an intentional change, in that case the bug might still serve as a place to find that information for others.
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
