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 Kumasasa's comment)

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
