Old versions are no longer supported, testing in those is of no use. Especially since later versions are already marked as affected. |

Can confirm in 1.17.1. Also some characters appear as "□" with the unicode font. |

Problem is explained in sufficient deail there, so I'll simply delete the above. Thank you. |

1.17.30.20 is not a version that ever existed for Minecraft Java edition. If you're talking about Minecraft Bedrock edition, then you should go here instead: MCPE-15191 |

This is still an issue, mostly prevalent with the pie menu. 1440p, GUI scale 1, Unicode font ON |

Confirmed for 1.13.1. I'm not sure if I should ask to be the reporter of this issue as it's PostPoned, I'll update it accordingly. |

@FVbico: Some languages were ridden of the unicode font, but lots of others still have it (e.g. Arabic and similar-looking languages). |

I think unicode-font is better in Chinese. ascii: unicode: |
| Comment by user-f2760 (Inactive) [ 04/Jul/18 ] |
|
Don’t some languages still enforce unicode, or was it removed altogether? |
| Comment by [Mod] bemoty [ 04/Jul/18 ] |
|
The "force unicode font" button has been removed from the language menu so there isn't really a way for me to reproduce this anymore. |
| Comment by [Mod] Michael Wobst [ 04/Jul/18 ] |
|
Can someone else confirm that this is fixed in 1.13-pre6? |
| Comment by Astra3 [ 04/Jul/18 ] |
|
This issue has been resolved today in 1.13-pre6. So I'd say despite some issues, this can be flagged as resolved. |
| Comment by fromgate [ 18/Nov/16 ] |
|
Now you can try to use alternative resource pack. |
| Comment by user-f2760 (Inactive) [ 17/Sep/16 ] |
|
Not needed. A fix won't be attempted for now anyway. |
| Comment by Fabian Röling [ 17/Sep/16 ] |
|
Should I still confirm it for every snapshot, for every major release or not at all? |
| Comment by user-f2760 (Inactive) [ 16/Sep/16 ] |

Set to postponed, as it won't be fixed soon. |

Confirmed for 1.10. I just tried some resize algorymths in paint.net (http://www.getpaint.net). |
| Comment by Pyotr Shelkin [ 20/Apr/16 ] |

Thanks. Is the new name ok? Or you insist on your title? |
| Comment by user-f2760 (Inactive) [ 20/Apr/16 ] |

Like I said before, it's the font in general that doesn't function properly, and any user, english or not, can enable and disable the font at will. that it doesn't match the rest of the game's text stile is because it's a different text style, there's a difference between the default font and unicode font, that a number of characters aren't supported in default font is a separate issue, but when selecting a language that has such characters, unicode font gets enabled automatically, and turning it off is your choice. The issue in this ticket is that it makes part of the game unreadable when enabled:
I'll reopen |
| Comment by Pyotr Shelkin [ 20/Apr/16 ] |
|
Main issue isn't about "oh, I can't see it from large distance". It's about style compatibility of different languages. Unicode wasn't meant to fit Minecraft font style. This ruins game esthetics for non-English players. And the sad thing that they can't report it for obvious reasons: most of the players affected by this issue don't speak Enlgish and surely don't know about this bug tracker. This is why this issue should have higher priority despite amount of votes. |
| Comment by user-f2760 (Inactive) [ 20/Apr/16 ] |
|
The font is a toggle-able option, and every language can have it enabled, for example I like the font a lot, and I just have minecraft on english, but it's just unreadable at smaller scale, so how is the title misleading? As for the bold, I saw a report about that before, but can't seem to find it anymore. |
| Comment by Pyotr Shelkin [ 20/Apr/16 ] |
|
This issue title is misleading: it doesn't cover how much it affects non-English speaking players. Info about bold (§l) is also missing. |

I made a poll in my blog about translation. And 21% did not use Russian translation because they don't like "unicode" font Original blog post is here: http://minecraftmain.ru/2016/04/kazhdyj-25-j-igrok-v-majnkraft-1-9-x-govorit-po-russki/ P.S. Image with poll result uploaded too |

Comon! It must be fixed, I can't switch to my native language because it's unreadable. |

If I may suggest a community fix (for 1.8.X)? |

FVbico, then what should happen to the developers tried to make the fix once again? |

As you may notice, a fix was already attempted in 1.7.3, and grum is assigned. |

vSkyD1 easy, complaining, or telling somebody what to do/how to do something, never helps |

Yes, it's the main problem I suffer from for couple of years. |

Not greedy at all, everybody reasonably active should request to adopt inactive tickets if they find themselves doing a lot of upkeep for them anyway. |
| Comment by user-f2760 (Inactive) [ 17/Feb/16 ] |

not wanting to sound greedy, but may I be changed to reported to keeps the affected versions up to date? |

signs are not readable with unicode font on from a distance further then 2 blocks from the head in 16w07b |

It would be great if custom bitmap fonts where allowed via resource packs. But it's not quite possible because of the |
| Comment by fromgate [ 11/Nov/15 ] |

Jumping Carrot, because there's a 68 languages included into Minecraft and there is no chance that developers will paint bitmap for every language. |
| Comment by Jumpin Carrot [ 07/Nov/15 ] |
|
Why not just make a good looking bitmap fonts for every language? |
| Comment by fromgate [ 07/Nov/15 ] |
|
I think good idea is to add support for Google fonts, https://www.google.com/fonts |
| Comment by fromgate [ 07/Nov/15 ] |
|
Jumpin Carrot you added a bitmap font. But we need a good looking unicode font, that supports all languages, emojis and other special symbols. |
| Comment by Jumpin Carrot [ 07/Nov/15 ] |

Normal cyrillic font |

15w41b - unicode font is still very thin and looks ugly. |

For what version was this resolved fixed? |

I agree! The unicode font really needs getting bigger, it should look like the good old english font but it doesn't |
| Comment by Itouch2 [ 26/Nov/13 ] |

Yes, this problem also affects the latest versions! |
| Comment by Talven81 [ 26/Nov/13 ] |
|
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft version 1.7.2 / Launcher version 1.3.4 ? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. |
| Comment by Itouch2 [ 27/Jul/13 ] |

Yes I have this feeling but it's very important ... |

Reopened, since the font renders parts of the game quite unreadable. |
| Comment by fromgate [ 15/May/13 ] |

I'm going to agree with this complain. This font is really ugly. Russian players prefers to patch (or mod) Minecraft to return back original font. This font is not noticeable at signs. If you use a colors at sign it's 99% that players with this font will no be able to read this text. I understand that "it's not a bug, but feature". But it's bad feature, may be badder than some bugs. And I think it's a good idea to change font (font size) or allow players to choose TTF font manually. |
| Comment by Itouch2 [ 08/Nov/12 ] |
|
agree but most people complain about it; and it is possible, by performing some manipulations, back to the original font |
| Comment by Anon Ymus [ 08/Nov/12 ] |
|
There are many fonts like this. Bug literally means incorrect functionality. This is an annoyance. |
| Comment by Itouch2 [ 08/Nov/12 ] |

If I disable Unicode, the French font still works. So why not do otherwise? ^^ |
| Comment by [Mojang] Grum (Erik Broes) [ 08/Nov/12 ] |
|
You turned on unicode because you picked french. |
| Comment by Itouch2 [ 08/Nov/12 ] |
|
But why enable Unicode? Accents work anyway, no? |
| Comment by Itouch2 [ 08/Nov/12 ] |
|
Why do some mods can return to the original font? |
| Comment by Cloudy (Aaron Mills) [ 08/Nov/12 ] |
|
I'm guessing it is because it is using the unicode font. However, this place is only for bug reports - sorry! |
| Comment by Itouch2 [ 08/Nov/12 ] |

Why is it like that? |
| Comment by Cloudy (Aaron Mills) [ 08/Nov/12 ] |

The font being "ugly" is not a bug. |
