Thanks, I pushed the patch. Closing this report since you confirmed it was also fixed.

@Pantxo: Right, when using uicontrol() the warning message is no longer printed.

@Rik: You get this warning because the "⏮" character is actually missing from FreeSans font, and the text renderer can't draw it (note it is also missing on-screen): so in your example the warning is expected. The bug at hand is that you currently also get a warning about missing glyphs in uicontrol objects although Qt is able to draw them using its default font. The test case is:


uicontrol ("style", "pushbutton", "string", "⏮")

I tried the patch over on bug #48446, but it doesn't seem to resolve this report.  I still get


>>  clf;
>> ht = text (0.5, 0.5, '⏮')
warning: text_renderer: skipping missing glyph for character '23ee'
warning: called from
    text at line 173 column 10

The patch attached to bug #48446 fixes this bug as well.

This is partly related to bug #48446: in order to get an idea of the text extent, we currently use our internal text rendering engine, with the default font (FreeSans). Looks like our copy of FreeSans features '◂' but not '⏮'.
As Rik said, Qt must be using a font that has both characters. So either we wait for bug #48446 to be solved, or we change the default font for uicontrol objects to match Qt's. The former may take a while, the latter may be difficult since Qt's font is probably OS/theme dependent.

Confirmed.  Although the text engine warning does seem to be accurate.  The following does not show the requested glyph.


clf;
ht = text (0.5, 0.5, '⏮')


It seems that uicontrol must be finding a font where the character is known.

If I execute this code:

figure; uicontrol('style', 'pushbutton', 'string', '⏮')

in console I get:
warning: text_renderer: skipping missing glyph for character '23ee'
warning: called from
    uicontrol at line 117 column 8

But Octave creates button with correct char anyways (see screenshot).

I get no warnings when execute: figure; uicontrol('style', 'pushbutton', 'string', '◂')
