Also occurs with every other font than Noto Sans, and not specific to Norwegian language. I think you are confused about the arrows, Øystein. Discover uses the ⮕ arrow, not the → arrow. But the ⮕ character is not very well supported in fonts commonly found on Linux or Windows. Source: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2b95/fontsupport.htm On the other, the → character *is* well supported: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2192/fontsupport.htm If it’s not included in the user’s default UI font, it is extremely like that at least one of the fallback fonts Qt automatically uses supports it. And, IMHO, the ⮕ arrow looks much too bold, and doesn’t fit with the rest of the text in Discover. For these two reasons, I recommend changing the ⮕ arrow into a → arrow. Ah, yes, you're right, thanks for the diligence. I can confirm that my system cannot display that specific symbol. Darn, will change the arrow. Thanks for catching this!
