Missing characters on lockscreen

[edern-appere]

Hi,

I noticed a bug with Fontster. I applied a new font (Lato) which is displayed correctly on my device (Nexus5 with LineageOS 14.1) except on the lockscreen. The divider ':' between the hours and minutes isn't displayed but rather replaced by some odd '?' (with a border). For example right now my device shows 21?36 instead of 21:36. This issue doesn't happen with the system font and the font I use (Lato) does contain the ':' character. Can you tell me if there is any solution for this issue ? This is the only one I noticed so far on this great app. Thanks for your help Have a nice day !

Kinda late, sorry.

The issue is known as there exists a workaround: https://github.com/ItsPriyesh/fontster/blob/e402950068e50bc2b0d67628e1982587320b05ab/app/src/main/java/com/chromium/fontinstaller/core/FontInstaller.java#L82

Unfortunately this does not fix the issue on LineageOS 16 either.

There exists a workaround which works fine https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/help/replaced-stock-font-lock-screen-clock-t3110488

So as I understood the fontster mechanism correctly new fonts are copied to system/fonts. However the fonts will be renamed to match the existing ones. In my case Roboto-Light.ttf actually was Ubuntu-Light.ttf (according to fontforge).

I think the lookscreen issue has to be an Android issue, I don't think that all downloaded fonts are buggy.
