Bug #49996
closedBackend headers font and non-english characters
100%
Description
The font for backend headers has changed but did someone tested it for other languages than english or am i missing some configuration option for it (to change font)?
I have attached picture that shows how polish characters are rendered now. Is it possible to change the font of extend character set for current one?

You can override this with a custom stylesheet.

The font has been changed to the Share font (the TYPO3 font). I guess it does only include limited support for unicode.
Does this help you?

This indeed could be a problem for languages which use some latin characters which are included in Share but also some characters which are not implemented in Share (as a mix).
See http://www.google.com/fonts/specimen/Share for a list of characters that are missing in Share.
The result is that for the characters that do not have a Share font equivalent, the fallback seems to be the next font in the fallback list which provides that letter (in this case, Verdana, which has a bigger rendering at the same font-size of 24px - and thus looks unproportional).
I have no idea on how to solve that other than making Share font configurable (enabled by default but which can be disabled if the main language of the site is some language which fall into this problematic area - at least polish but might also be others.
Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Cyrillic etc are not a problem because none of these characters have a Share font representation, thus all will come form Verdana / Arial etc - and thus look proportional.

I added most missing European glyphs. The files live in typo3/sysext/t3skin/Resources/Public/Fonts.
On my local system it somehow doesn't work, but maybe there is a caching problem.
If these work fine I'll add the missing glyphs to the bold and italic variations and create the webfonts.

Jigal, it works! Would be cool to add also the missing glyphs for bold and italics, and then we replace them in one go. We should provide the modified font back to the original author, if we manage to contact him (we've tried in the past months with no results).
