Hallo,

I have an self-created TTF-Font with graphic symbols. f.e. an Symbol like "*" instead of "A".

Now I assign:

MyButton.Caption :=  'A';
MyButton.Font.Name:=  'MyFont';
MyButton.refresh;

But the button caption is unchanged. It appears an "A" instead of "*". I tested the Font in Libreoffice and it works well.

any idea?

In the IDE the button caption will also be unchanged, when I change the font.

best regards
Josef

some informations about the enviroment:
FPC 3.1.1
Lazarus 1.7 Rev. 51308
SUSE 42.1

best regards
Josef

Turn of themes.

I modified the font:
First the encoding was "symbol" -> problem as described (it doesn't matter, when i change the charset)
than copy the chars, so that the encoding is "UnicodeBmp" -> problem is solved

The solution for me is to modify the font.

best regards
