To the contrary, I'd rather drop them today. Please look at how many bugs those glyphs induced. With every release we had another couple of "glyphs missing" bugs, sometimes even a couple dozen. Mike Fabian can tell a lot of painful stories about that - he usually gets to fix those font issues. Glyphs sounded like a good idea at the time. But it did not pay off. It backfired all the time. They are a lot more trouble than they are worth. We should do other things to improve the looks. In Qt, we can use pixmaps and icons; the concepts are there. IIRC the `Image() widget even has a fallback text to be used for NCurses. This is the way to go. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
