Hey all
I was trying out a patch on OS X 10.10 with Pd 0.46-7. The patch contains some cnv objects with labels containing utf-8 geometric shapes (namely ▶ and ●). The symbols are displayed correctly on Windows and Linux, but not on OS X. Instead, they show a crossed box (like [X]).
The same symbols are displayed in OS X' Terminal app or TextEdit app. Maybe it's an issue with the font in Pd? The problem not only appears in Pd canvases, but also in the Pd console which uses a different font. The decoration of the zexy greeter also shows those boxes instead of white hearts (♡).
