I'm hoping that with the ballot screen gone I'll see fewer computers from technically illiterate people with with every browser choice installed and unused.

For others without that specific font or what have you: "Unicode Text Converter"

On my windows box with chrome all i see are empty boxes.

Use IE (wow, don't say that often) it has much better typography support, if you are on a high DPI display, chrome just looks awful.

> if you are on a high DPI display, chrome just looks awful

I'm fairly sure this is no longer the case. Chrome is high-DPI aware on Windows now, and it uses DirectWrite for font rendering, the same as IE. It just can't display these characters for some reason.

I think he does not only mean the font rendering, but the UI itself.

Anyway, DirectWrite was horrible at high DPI, if I remember correctly.

Nope, the UI got an update too. It renders at high-DPI on Windows. Chrome on a high-DPI machine looks exactly the same as on a low-DPI machine, except sharper. It used to be plagued with issues, but I'm fairly sure they're all gone now. DirectWrite isn't perfect. It still has weird hinting and kerning at high-DPI with some fonts, but it's better than GDI.

I find Chrome better than IE, actually. IE ignores my DPI settings and scales pages to 250%, so everything looks too large. Chrome renders correctly at 200%.

That's interesting. These comments make a lot more sense in IE11.

This reminds me of the 1990s. haha

I had the same problem - this page has some fonts you can download, which fixed the problem for me (Windows 7, Chrome 38)

Thanks I was having the same issue on Windows 7 Chromium v39

Here too - except in the title (tab) - I can see the text.

On my Fedora box with Chrome negative circled, squared and negative squared don't show up but everything else does. Firefox and Konqueror are the same so I imagine it is a font issue.

Same here. I wonder why Chrome on Windows doesn't work.

Fortunately I'd seen this story on my Ubuntu box before leaving home, so I wasn't totally out of the loop.

What's weird for me is that Chrome 38 on Win 8.1 is showing the title in the tab but is just boxes on the actual page.

I thought it was emoticons at first. Now I can see the title.

Works fine on chrome for mac, doesn't work on chrome for windows.

Same with Chrome and Opera on Android 5.0

Looking for another name IS the appropriate resolution.

Offering GNOME a bunch of money to use the name in a specific context could be another. That could be a win for the project overall.

I was watching the iphone6 one and I had the same experience as you. I'm not sure why you're being downvoted.

I think companies which use weird double negative language by these options on forms aught to be penalised.

[ / ] uncheck this box if you don't not agree.

Or the ones that have two boxes, one positive and one negative:

    [x] Send me marketing emails
    [ ] Don't pass my email on to third party spammers

or the ones that do something like:

    [ ] Accept terms and conditions and send me marketing emails*
    *required

I didn't click the link, it sounds too much like an advert.

But i if i did i suspect that i'd find one weird trick that doctors hate.

Thanks for the feedback. Tells us we need to think up better headlines.

In lieu of the implementation, I'd like to know if these allocators are themselves based on malloc or if you have some tricky assembly/kernel code going on somewhere.

These allocators are based on mmap to build the arenas.

I didn't have a paypal account before last night. After signing up I found the payment gateway quite broken (paypal have sent me several emails now saying i have successfully added a card ending in 0000). So now I have £800 floating around somewhere in cyberspace, accounts on two websites that I don't care to give any business to and most key to the issue; no pledge to this project.

Screw Paypal!
