Summary

Hi all, I'm currently using a custom font in-game, which occasionally displays a strange symbol instead of an arrow = "->" I have obtained a script snippet to fix the error, it fixes the strange symbol in a couple of areas, but I would also like to fix it in my Items list.

Hi all,


I'm currently using a custom font in-game, which occasionally displays a strange symbol


instead of an arrow = "->"


I have obtained a script snippet to fix the error, it fixes the strange symbol in a couple of areas, but I would also like to fix it in my Items list.


I think this is a fairly easy fix, but I can't seem to figure it out.

# Add function for temporarily switching a window's current drawing font.


class Font


def use( window )


old_font = window.contents.font.dup


window.contents.font = self


yield


window.contents.font = old_font


end


end


# Fixes the arrow character (→) used in places in the UI


# since custom font does not support that character


module Mez


module ArrowFix


FONT = Font.new(["VL Gothic", "Arial"]) # This is the font used for the arrows, checked in order.


end


end


# For Actor Equip Window


class Window_EquipStatus


alias mez_wes_dra draw_right_arrow


def draw_right_arrow(x, y)


Mez::ArrowFix::FONT.use(self) do


mez_wes_dra(x, y)


end


end


end


# For Yanfly Victory Aftermath - remove if not using that script


class Window_VictoryLevelUp


alias mez_wvlu_da draw_arrows


def draw_arrows


Mez::ArrowFix::FONT.use(self) do


mez_wvlu_da


end


end


end

Any help fixing this one would be fantastic!


Thanks guys,


EDIT>


It is also displaying a strange symbol in my Items, Equipment and Skills lists.


You can access the Item menu by pressing insert.


Then using right arrow to move to the equipment list


and right arrow again to move to Skill list.


These are the menus that display the symbol.


Again, any help would be great!


As you can see in the attached image,


Scrolling through to the right menus (Equipment, skills) also displays


the box instead of the arrow.
