This DejaVu font not containing all the characters issue is perhaps
the main reason I stopped running the client on Windows, as I was
effectively rendering broken tiles at times. All the stylesheets (as
far as I know, and mine may be out of date) contain entries such as:
--- Start quote ---
/* Area captions */
.park-name {
fill: #404040;
font-family: "DejaVu Sans";
font-weight: normal;
stroke: white;
font-size: 2.25px;
stroke-width: 0.0px;
}
--- End quote ---
where the font is clearly specified. I don't know how the different
Linux distributions handle using different fonts from that specified
in the stylesheet if a character isn't defined in a font that
otherwise exists, but I don't think there is an easy way on Windows.
If anyone does know a way that I can get it to use the south east
asian fonts I've tried installing as well as DejaVu that would be
great, but SVG fonts sounds like the best way forward.
