SUMMARY When typing needed text using the text tool & selecting the Wingdings font, the result is just blank rectangles. I haven't tried this with other non-letter fonts, so I don't know if they suffer similar problems STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Type in text using the text tool & set the font to Wingdings 2. Click on "save" OBSERVED RESULT The resulting text shows blank rectangles (▯) instead of the symbols that should be there (including the spaces). Edit Text window shows the correct symbols EXPECTED RESULT The Wingdings font working just like any other regular font SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 11 macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION When pasting directly converted text from an external source (ex: lingojam.com/WingdingsTranslator) without changing the font in Krita itself, the text shows the correct symbols, but some of them are transformed into emojis; however, I don't know if it's due to Krita itself or the font converter (leaning towards the latter option)
This is actually already fixed in 5.3 master, but the code in question isn't very backportable (being tied up in a bigger text tool rewrite). The experience you have with the converter is because the converter takes the text and transforms it into unicode codepoints, while the bug itself is because the wingdings font uses an old-fashioned non-unicode character map that needed to be manually set.
