[PB5.70beta4] Windows 10 18-09 - Some emojis appear corrupt

[marcoagpinto]

Hello!

I upgraded Windows 10 yesterday and now some emojis appear corrupted (square):
★
(this star used to appear okay and now it is corrupted).

Font: Arial

[STARGÅTE]

Arial does not contain this star "★" (U+2605).

I have already explained this behavior to you: viewtopic.php?f=13&t=71520

In my case it is ASC 9733 not 2605.

And it worked before Windows 10 upgraded from 18-03 to 18-09.

EDIT: It is indeed Hex 2605.
But it worked days ago.

@marcoagpinto:
Arial is the font at your cursor (in the next line).
If you go to the star-character it shows: "Segoe UI Symbol" or "Arial Unicode MS",
because U+2605 is not supported by "Arial":
BLACK STAR (U+2605) Font Support

And it worked before Windows 10 upgraded from 18-03 to 18-09.

I think then you should ask microsoft what happens?

Back to PB ... this code works well:

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(1, 0, 0, 300, 150, "BLACK STAR (U+2605) ★", #PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

TextGadget(1, 20, 20, 200, 20, "BLACK STAR (U+2605) ★")
SetGadgetFont(1, FontID(LoadFont(#PB_Any, "Arial Unicode MS", 10)))

Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

MessageRequester("", "BLACK STAR (U+2605) ★")

The character is not shown with Arial font in MS Notepad.
It seems to be a problem with Windows 10 1809.

Guys?!

Microsoft's Cumulative update from yesterday, 12-FEB-2019, fixed the star emoji.

The star is appearing again.

Just to let you know.
