Hi @Rob and everyone,

This problem popped up alongside my previous "JSON corruption" error that I posted below. Here's a screenshot.

missing glyphs

As you can see, those "diamonds with question marks" indicate that specific font character/glyph is missing. It's called an "en dash" ( – ), basically a longer hyphen.

Also missing is the "pipe" character ( | ), which is the shifted+backslash key above "ENTER".

These font characters/glyphs DOES render correctly everywhere else on my PC, both natively in Windows and in other apps.

As I described in my other post, all these problems happened after a virus-removal and subsequent restart and crash. The characters are even not being rendered after I'd imported a backup profile, so something within SP is persisting.

It's not a huge deal, this is more about my curiousity so that if I understand what happened, perhaps we can avoid it in the future. Thanks!

Hi Rob, thanks for the quick reply.

I opened the "StrokesPlus.net.json" file up in Notepad++, and it says "UTF-8" in both the "encoding" dropdown and the bottom right-corner.

Wow, actually no – still seeing the "diamond-?" glyph.

So I went ahead and searched for the "diamond-?" glyph, which gave 223 hits!

Does this mean that it's not a rendering problem but rather a mapping problem? If I replace all the diamonds with my desired glyph, would that work? Interesting... I'll make a backup and test it!

Update: I think that worked! I wonder why it happened in the first place, but now I know we can batch-replace stuff in the JSON :) Thanks Rob
