font issue showing square boxes at trailing edge

I'm reading up on why the font I am using (Ubuntu) is showing square boxes at the end of sentences or trailing when there are dots. Such as:
This is the senten....[]
It appears to be it's missing a symbol or something? So I'm wondering if there is a way to edit the .ttf and add in an empty space to represent that missing symbol?

So no one knows why it is doing this?

I'D like to know why this is as well. Appeared since I've uograded to DeFroST 6.0g

Hello,
I have the same problem.
I use CyanogenMod 6.1 RC1 and I install the font using FontChanger 1.4.
Font I have taken directly from my Ubuntu 10.10 (ttf folder or something...).

bump to see if anyone knows

Upgraded to 6.0j and still the same problem ...

Tried clearing your cache/dalvik cache?

It's a font issue, not cache or anything, some fonts don't show this, so it must be in the font pack itself, I'm just wondering if we can edit the pack and replace whatever the hell android puts in those squares with just "..." or a empty space.

Yes, it was actually the first thing I tried to do ;D
And I don't think it's a font issue, as it works perfectly on other AOSP ROMs..

Let me revive this old thread.
I'm seeing this as well on my legend in CM7 stable. I also saw it in CM6.1. However I don't see this in late nightly builds of CM7 (I still have a nandroid back up of one of those) so it's definitely *not* a font issue.

I'm having the same issue after flashing CM7 Nightly 92 (os version 2.3.4) for my Desire Z.
More information:
I am using ADW Launcher EX and Minimalist Theme.
I have flashed Ubuntu font. (did this before when I was using earlier CM7 but no such problem)
The squares boxes appear for SMS in notification bar as well as the app's label in app drawer (as posted above).
Would really appreciate any fix on this as this is kind of annoying and unpleasant to see.

Urgh ive been looking everywhere and there doesn't seem to be a solution for this. I'm on CM7.0.3 stable mod. I did not have this problem on rooted stock gingerbread.

was looking for fix but nothing found.
here the fix btw. flash thru CWM or extract manually.

ICS modded settings app on any cm7 rom

Those who want the look of ics setting app on cm7 so here you got it
I tried it on latest nightly but I think u can use it on any rom but never forget to make backup but I did not do it

I never tried on stock rom.try replacing default setting app with this one.make backup of original setting first.
If it works ok,otherwise restore your backup

A nooby question- u said we can just backup settings app instead of doing the whole nyandroid routine, but i can't find an app specifically named settings (in tb pro). Am i missing something or is there an app in /system

Using root explorer go into system/app and copy setting app to SD.
Now take out the setting.apk from the zip provided above and paste it in app and change permission to rw-r-r and reboot your phone.
If it did not work,replace your original apk in same way

restarted, and it works.

Try searching for RUJelus22 inverted apps. Those are what I use. Or, Google search "inverted apps," look for a site that says "Eclipse." He makes good inverted apps, with keyboard too, I think.

That's because the same app has been installed. You have to manually copy the latinime.apk or keyboard.apk to system/app manually. (or just.. flash the zip?)

have no zip its apk but does not work also...

That's because you already have a keyboard app there. Rename currently installed apk (or just move it somewhere else), and move the inverted keyboard into system/app (Or try to install normally). Should work now.

i give it up i though it would be much easyer to install a black keybard...

v2 - Fixed Drawing App

Kids Mode Update v2
V2 has been uploaded.
The Drawing app has been fixed.
If you already have the Kids Mode add-on installed, you can just flash the zip attached to this post instead of re-downloading the entire add-on again. Flash in recovery, no wipe needed.

It appears to have installed just fine (in application manager), but I have no shortcut. I do have stock kitkat.
Any tips on adding the shortcut?
Thank you for sharing this.

You are more than welcome to try, but this is based on 4.4.2 and much of what is required is baked into the touchwiz framework, so it likely will not work with 4.4.4.
