Comment #1
psicomante commentedAnyway it seems only an our problem :(
Cool icons, anyway, Great Work.
Comment #2
gábor hojtsyHm, you need a font with these chars in place. (We can always include these as images in the package, but that would degrabe a bit, as you would not be able to resize the icons with the text). So what operating system are you using on the client?
Comment #3
psicomante commentedWindows. Linux is ok :(. I think images would be the last choice. I'm looking for information about utf8 entities, but you entities used here are unfoundable :D
Comment #4
keith.smith commentedPsicomante: The text-based icons work fine for me on a Windows Vista box. What version of Windows are you running?
Comment #5
psicomante commentedI'm running Windows XP, all other Windows XP users (which check the pages) see question marks with FF2.0 or IE6/7 (the known square), while all *nix users are ok.
Comment #6
psicomante commentedOur user with WinXP/FF2.0 see icons correctly XD. Font problem? But what font?
Comment #7
keith.smith commentedIf you go to this page http://www.danshort.com/HTMLentities/index.php?w=dingb (on a computer that is NOT displaying correctly), do you see the glyphs?
Comment #8
psicomante commentedI saw that page. My WinXP installation doesn't see them correctly (except the airplane and '(numbers)', wonderful :P). Other OS, like linux, see them correctly.
I think, like Gabor says, it's a font problem. My fonts installed are default one, though i run WinXP-SP2.
PS: check our l10n_server site at: http://l10n.drupalitalia.org/
Comment #9
psicomante commentednevermind, a lot of users see correctly these icons, i'm lookin for a solution in the meanwhile.
Comment #10
keith.smith commentedI'm guessing but I figure you will need a TrueType or OpenType version of a "dingbat" font, specifically something with Unicode dingbats, as outlined here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dingbat#Unicode_dingbats.
Comment #11
psicomante commentedThanks a lot keith!! I checked Webdings and Windings fonts but all of them are ok. I found this page (http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/block/dingbats/utf8test.htm), that list a list of fonts that support unicode codes.
Installed Arial Unicode MS.ttf, and now works well. Thanks
Comment #12
keith.smith commentedThat's a very handy link to know.
I'm going to bookmark that page since I plan on ripping off Gábor's very cool 'icon' idea at the earliest opportunity. :)
Since we're here already, how about adding a section to README.txt to preserve this for posterity.
Comment #13
psicomante commentedgreat, +1.
Comment #14
gábor hojtsyThanks for the patch! This is really positive information :) I was too much afraid from using UTF icons originally, but it seems my fears are now resolved :)
I have committed this patch and a major update to the README, to reflect the current set of modules and requirements. Thanks!
Comment #15
keith.smith commentedThe new text in README.txt looks pretty good!
Comment #16
gábor hojtsyWell, I hope I learn some style from your fine improvements with each bit :)
BTW should't 'A "Organic groups"' be 'An "Organic groups"'?
Comment #17
keith.smith commentedLOL! Your style is fine. Your spelling, eh..., not so much. :)
I'm kidding. Please don't think I'm following you around on d.o correcting your grammar -- I'm actually doing it because I'm trying to improve my PHP skills and your code is pretty readable.
Yes, on the "A/An" thing. Now that I look at it, I'm sure the "Az" was supposed to be "An", rather than "A". New patch attached. I also changed an "Additionally to" to "in addition to".
Comment #18
gábor hojtsyWell, thanks :) I am perfectly fine if you follow me and fix my grammar :) That certainly makes the code better and hopefully also improved my grammar to some degree :) Committed this one, thanks.
