Description: |
It is unknown whether this is a Tk bug or a Windows bug. The glyphs display with different sizes running with the two different programs. Only the character order is different. Tested on Windows 7. # a.tcl package require Tk font create n font configure n -size 30 ttk::label .x -text "\u2B08\u2B05" -font n grid .x # b.tcl package require Tk font create n font configure n -size 30 ttk::label .x -text "\u2B05\u2B08" -font n grid .x | |||

Closing as invalid. This appears to most likely be a windows font issue. It can be re-opened if anyone else runs into this. bll added on 2018-03-11 16:08:26: win 7, 32 bit, pristine, fully upgraded: Does not have the font for the angled arrow, displays an unknown character box, no sizing issues. win 8.1, 64 bit, pristine, fully upgraded: Normal display. win 8.1, 32 bit, pristine, fully upgraded: Normal display. win vista ultimate, 64 bit, pristine, fully upgraded: (tcl 8.6.6) Both characters display as boxes. (tcl 8.6.8) Both characters display as boxes. win xp pro, 32 bit, pristine: Both characters display as boxes. The win 7 64 bit VM is what I would call mostly clean -- not much has been done to it, but various different packages have been installed. It looks like I may have installed various fonts, but it was quite a while ago. Those fonts may need an update. It appears I installed the droid fonts, the windows fonts and the noto fonts. fvogel added on 2018-03-11 07:46:52: I have added a snapshot of what I get on my Win 7 box. No bug for me: the two chars render identically whatever their order is. bll added on 2018-03-10 07:44:03: Right. I suspect this is a windows font issue. I could only find one report on the internet for a similar issue and it was related to windows fonts. I was trying to duplicate this report: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.tcl/J25jawjYOtg I'll have to try it on Windows 10 when I have time. fvogel added on 2018-03-09 22:05:16: No display bug for me on Vista.
