Little issue with avatar names with some "funky" characters

Hello,

I tried today to contact a resident with the user name "asarisunshine", who happens to have a display name with lots of weird Unicode characters. And strange things are happening both in the profile & IM floaters: her name appears part in the floater's title bar, and part completely outside of the floater, on the left. It seems her display name also messes up the local chat floater when it appears in it, but I didn't quite understand what was happening there: some texts were apparently displayed on top of each other.

No big deal, obviously, but I thought you'd like to know. :)

Cheers!

Probably an issue with fonts on your system; did you override the bundled viewer fonts ?

Strange. I reverted all my settings to the default ones and I'm still getting the issue. Here is how I see an IM floater with her:

And with her profile, it's even worse:

I don't even know how to do that, and I just installed the latest version, so that would have overriden such a change, right?

Maybe I should reinstall everything from scratch to be sure?

It looks like if a carriage return is following the two "S"... Yet, I am not able to reproduce it here...

Not if you installed overrides in a skins/ directory, alongside the user_settings/ ones (which location depends on the OS)...

If you have another user account on your computer (or can create another), try from it and see what happens...

The log file might also give clues (e.g. with the fonts loading messages).

You could also try with another language setting (on another user account, to avoid messing up yours).
