Questions[font](server)

So many questions and answers about PuTTY and UTF-8 encoding...

Let me summarize: I'm using a patched Nerd Font (https://github.com/ryanoasis/nerd-fonts). It displays fine for most special characters, but some just don't display correctly in PuTTY. They display fine via Windows Terminal, Notepad etc.

PuTTY (first symbol wrong, second ok):

Windows Terminal (both symbols correct):

Windows Charmap (look at the unicode):

As you can see unicode 0xF0E7 should be a flash-symbol, but PuTTY somehow displays a gothic character. Also when I copy&paste the character from the PuTTY window it is the þ, not the flash-icon. Somehow PuTTY changed the unicode codepoint? þ is 0x00FE not 0xF0E7! Also note that PuTTY does display other special characters just fine like the folder-symbol or the heart-symbol in the screenshots.

My settings:

Putty

• Window > Appearance > Font: Some Nerdfont & Allow selection of variable-pitch fonts
• Window > Appearance > Font Quality: ClearType
• Window > Translation > Remote charset: UTF-8
• Window > Translation > Drawing Characters: Use Unicode line drawings

Bash

• locale returns LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 (as well as LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8)

TMUX

• set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"
• setw -q -g utf8 on

When I ssh into the box via Windows Terminal everything is working as expected, also via tmux. Only when I use PuTTY some UTF-8 characters are replaced.

I have a web page deployed in server linux (Wheezy server version) and this web page generate a PDF file using a Arial font. I've looked at

/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ 

and there is no Arial font found there. Only:

DejaVuSans-Bold.ttf
DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf
DejaVuSansMono.ttf
DejaVuSans.ttf
DejaVuSerif-Bold.ttf
DejaVuSerif.ttf

How to install Arial font?

I have a .TTF font and when i open it in Windwos 7 it's all ok, the characters is appearing in various sizes and etc.., but when i open it in Windows Server 2003 nothing is appearing inside it. Shows up a "blank font", whitout the characters. I need that font for my app that have to work in both systems...

Obs: all others fonts are ok in Windows Server 2003, when i open anyone the characters is appearing.

-- EDIT

I copy the font to another Windows Server 2003.... and works fine. Anyone have any idea?

I've just deployed an ASP.NET application onto a Windows 2003 web server. The application contains Crystal Reports. Some of the reports contain characters in WingDings2 font. When the report is generated those characters show in the standard font instead.

I copied the WingDings2 font to the web server, but it did not help. I restarted IIS also and that didn't help.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Installation:

• Windows Server 2008 R2
• Remote Desktop Service role

When I logon locally my command window (cmd.exe) displays with default font that is 8x12. But when I logon remotely and open command window, it opens with the smallest possible font selection. Opening window properties and setting font size, the default 8x12 font is missing from the list.

What should I do to get this font back in the list?

Following screenshots show settings when logged on locally and remotely. Local machine is not Aero capable, but remotely I can have Aero environment. I've also tried setting it to basic, but there was no change.
