| Summary | 0002590: Rendering of Umlauts in Object Labels | ||||
| Description | Labels for craters, rills, etc named for Germans who have umlauts in their name, are missing the umlaut letter. An example is the crater Büsching. It's rendered Bsching on the map. Behavior is consistent for all umlauted vowels. Virtual Moon version is 8.1 for Linux. I tried different fonts that I knew contained the umlauted letters, but the problem persisted. | ||||

Yes, we are working on this issue that is also reported on CN : https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/869765-virtual-moon-atlas-version-8-20th-anniversary/?p=12613491 The problem is this labels are not standard text but composed from bitmap texture and it is not possible to generate bitmap for every possible UTF-8 character. The solution we will apply is to use the IAU Clean_Feature_Name that use only ASCII character for the principal name. |

Thank you. One possible work-around involves changing an umlauted vowel to a regular vowel, followed by an "e." I still do that with an English keyboard, even with the ability to insert extra characters. You probably also noticed the problem exists with French accented vowels, like with the crater Lamèch. I typically ignore the accent. Sacrilege, I know. At any rate, this isn't a problem where you have to cover every UTF-8 character, just the vowels. Still, the Clean_Feature_Name database seems a solution that is ready made, if not entirely elegant. |

Looks like the Clean_Feature_Name fix is largely implemented in 8.2. |

Yes, in 8.2 we return to the name witouth accents as it was in previous version. For the next version I will look if it is possible to create the accented character bitmap when need, maybe using an internal table to map the UTF-8 value. |
