#3518: Update FreeFont fonts to current version
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
Reporter: sphery <mtdean at thirdcontact.com> | Owner: ijr
Type: enhancement | Status: new
Priority: trivial | Milestone: unknown
Component: mythtv | Version: head
Severity: low |
----------------------------------------------+-----------------------------
The version of the FreeFont fonts distributed with MythTV is an old
version which is missing many glyphs. The current release of the FreeFont
fonts is available at http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freefont
/freefont-ttf-20060126.tar.gz .
Currently, we distribute Free{Mono,Sans{,Bold}}.ttf . Updating these to
the most recent version would add glyphs for many characters, including
the musical characters. With the new glyphs, would be far less likely to
see rectangles in captions, (i.e. when music plays in a show). While
doing so would require a loose interpretation of the word "fix", the fonts
could also be updated in 0.20-fixes.
If you'd like a before/after test, the various CSI series use the eighth
note (U+266A) while playing the theme song in the intro.
