2877 :: Ampersand rendering glitch in tutorial

• SidewinderMan (orginal) [2017-03-22T09:05:52+01:00] view original

  Hey I'm looking at the Tutorial Part I and all the ampersands are rendering incorrectly. I'm using updated Chrome on Windows 10.

  Here's a screenshot I took: http://imgur.com/5BehDSa

  Anyone else seeing this?

  I noticed this too. If somebody could create a PR applying the fix that the Rust guys made that would be brilliant (might be easier to just change the font used).

  Hmm, another issue is that the fonts are trying to load from an http rather than https, I'm not familiar with how the docs work and are generated, but the link should be changed to https.

  So, the problem is that @SidewinderMan has an outdated version of Source Code Pro installed on his system and should update it.

  Thanks hcorion, I went and got the latest version of Source Code Pro fonts and installed them on my system, and indeed the problem went away. So that's great for me, but others will likely have this same problem and not know what to do.

  TBH, I'm not sure how the Source Code Pro fonts ended up on my system in the first place. I don't know if it's a Visual Studio thing or what (seems like they used Consolas the last time I checked).
