OMG!!! HUGE mistake!!

Post by Xephyr »

The Verdurian font, where is says "Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz. 123456789", the number 7 is omitted.

Just thought I'd mention it.

When you go to the folder in the control panel with all the different fonts, and when you click them some say "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." and some say "Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz". In Verdurian's, when it lists the numbers, there is no 7. There is 6 and 8 and all that, but no 7.

Ah well, go complain to the people who wrote that font display program. (The font has a perfectly good 7 in it.)

I am aware that it does, but did not know that you were not at fault, albeit accidental I'm sure.

I have more fonts on this machine... I found a few that also skip the 7: Modern, Roman, Script. These are all old Windows fonts; my guess is that it's something about the format of older TrueType font files.

All in all, I hardly think the whole situation warrants an "OMG!!! HUGE mistake!!".
