Some unicode characters are always bold

Resolution note

This report was closed as "Invalid" because the affected characters are the ones from the assets/minecraft/textures/font/ascii.png file.

The problem that the other unicode characters like "³" are not that big might be MC-2488.

Many unicode characters appear as bold even there would be a way to create them with a normal font size.
This seems to affect only the "ascii.png"

Examples:

  • ² (there is already a report about that, but I can't find it; also ³ is not bold)

  • ÷

  • ≤ and ≥ (well maybe with a normal font size they would look strange)

  • Σ

  • °

  • ± (but ∓ isn't like this)
    and probably many more

Some that are also "messed up":

  • \u00aa -> ª

  • \u00ae -> ®

  • \u00bc -> ½

  • \u00bd -> ¾

  • \u00f8 -> ø
    These are too big. They do not appear bold but you cannot read them

How to reproduce: (from @unknown's comment)
Type

ABCDäöüß  ² ³ ÷    Σ °     ±  test

in the chat

All of these characters have a bold form, but this form is very hard to differentiate from the normal form or you cannot really read it anymore.
I am sorry if this report is invalid because these characters are made like this to differentiate from other characters

Do you have some steps to replicate this?

Steps to reproduce:

  • Put

    ABCDäöüß  ² ³ ÷    Σ °     ±  test

    in the chat

Probably invalid, these are characters from the assets/minecraft/textures/font/ascii.png file
