Description

When using Serif fonts, and reading articles with Unicode characters, they are now rendered as empty boxes:

It seems as if the default serif font selection used by the WebView is some kind of incomplete font, instead of the correct Android font (Noto).

Mentioned In: T294636: Serif font in mobile editor does not handle special chars
T294281: Production hotfix release: 2.7.50382
Mentioned Here: T294636: Serif font in mobile editor does not handle special chars

Dbrant triaged this task as High priority.

for QA:

Load the article Cat, and set your font selection to serif (in our Theme dialog)
Change the article language to Polish
Make sure that none of the characters are rendered as blank boxes (similar to the screenshot above).

Appears to be fixed on 2.7.50381-r-2021-10-15

Not only mobile app but also mobile web: T294636
