 Description  « Hide
When a user creates/edits LSL script in-world, he/she uses viewer's built-in script editor. It shows non Latin 1 characters such as Japanese, Korean, Russian, or Greek letters as square boxes.

SL viewer uses font_fallback mechanism to show non Latin 1 characters. The script editor uses monospace font. Currently, SL viewer does not define any fallback for monospace font, so non Latin 1 characters are shown as a missing_glyph symbol. Just adding appropriate fallback for monospace font will solve the issue.

REPRO

(1) Create an object. Open "content" tab. Click on "New script" button.
(2) Edit the default script and type some non Latin 1 characters there, in a comment or a string literal.

OBSERVED BEHAVIOUR

  • Those non Latin 1 characters are shown as square boxes.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

  • Those non Latin 1 characters are shown as their glyphs.

I wrote a patch to fix this issue. I have not yet tested it extensively, but have checked that it shows Japanese or Korean characters in LSL properly on Windows and Macintosh. (On Linux, I can either Japanese or Korean but not both, because of the unicode.ttf hack...)

I confirmed that this issue has been fixed.

Moreover, in recent versions, even Linux viewers can show Japanese and Korean letters at a same time. Great.

Thank you for the fix.
