If I open that in XP, it's just a load of boxes. I have the font displaying the letters. But I have all language options enabled, hieroglyphics, Arabic, and all possible "code page conversion tables" enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. Would you mind sharing that script either here or in the monkey scripts thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmiranda Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 (edited) And I completely agree in that it is (and has to be) XP OS issues - which brings us to supermium. I have to say that that guy @win32has delivered. I will make time to install an OS I've never used, to see his work directly on target (I would also call it fair game -and good practice- to point out that to have an open source community working with you, in your software, side by side with a shinier and prettier plus plus built around the thing we probably don't (or sadly can't) use -those would be acceptable terms, I guess). Be well. Edited April 17 by dmiranda 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I can't give you the address of that site as it's a private Health Service address which needs a login. If I spot the same issue anywhere that's generally available, I will certainly let you know. Presumably I'm not just getting squares for the same reason that the NoToEmoji font is displaying squares?

It's possible, but it can be verified. Open the website: https://emojikeyboard.top/ If the Noto font is not installed or does not work, you will see this: But if it is working, it will be like this: If Noto works, then maybe your site needs a different font, or there is some other problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 I'm seeing this, so it all looks as if it's OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 On another subject, I've noticed when trying to add a file to a post here using Supermium, I get this - No option to actually select a file, the 'Dump Folder' folder shown definitely has files in it! Thankfully, dragging and dropping does work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, interesting, the emoticons are different from the ones I have, although the font is the same. But the important thing is that they are displayed. Then maybe that site needs "font awesome", there are several versions of them and each has a set of several fonts. 1 hour ago, Dave-H said: On another subject, I've noticed when trying to add a file to a post here using Supermium, I get this - The developer is aware of this problem and is addressing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think maybe the emoticons look different on your grab to my grab because it says it's a 'Top 100', which presumably is constantly changing? Good to know that they are aware of the file selection problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
user57 Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 i tested that website with a nativ win7 machine (with all upgrades) and a unchanged official chrome 109 supermium is already far above that, as seen even on win7 and on a nativ win10 machine with edge win10´s edge might show a few more, but not all while supermium shows all of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not install bundled fonts to the OS so my Supermium still shows the same boxes as the Edge screencap above. I do not need what I think of as a PHONE FONT installed on my DESKTOP computer. To each their own, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are the same emoticons, they rarely change in this top 100. They're just a little different for some reason. 5 hours ago, user57 said: win10´s edge might show a few more, but not all while supermium shows all of them Win 10 already supports color emoji, in older OS you have to install an extension in your browser to make them colorful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some bizarre jumping through hoops. Converting CSS directives expressed in em to px...WTF? Makes one question the *underlying code quality. Reminds of all the weird bugs in old games I used to patch...now I can't even see that x86 ASM crap anymore... Both Supermium and Thorium still feel like Win10/11 browsers with band aid to run on XP. [*] I meant Chromium's code quality in general. Edited April 18 by UCyborg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
