I've got a way to control the font in the taskbar. Menu>Desktop>JWMDesk Manager>ScreenFont>Install Fonts. Internet: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto. Download, unzip, install one. Menu>Filesystem>Rox. I used Roboto Mono. Next find Menu>Document>Geany Add/Edit the configuration file /root/.jwm/jwmrc-theme:

Code: Select all

<TaskListStyle> 
<Font>RobotoMono-Regular-10</Font> 
<Background>##333333</Background> 
<Foreground>#ffffff</Foreground>
<active><Foreground>#ffffff</Foreground>
<Background>#D64937</Background> </Active>
</TaskListStyle>
Terminal: fc-cache -fv

Savepup...

Menu>exit>restart graphical server.

Open browser (I'm on Google Chrome) and visit Twitter user with unicode regional indicator flag emoji in username> Now box-glyphs are gone in taskbar. I haven't found font that DISPLAYS the emoji there yet. Will post if I find one.

I just hated seeing those boxes !!

What version of Puppy are you using?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Xenialpup 7.5 CE. I was multitasking and hid it in the 'subject' above. That kludge made it visually acceptable on my system but the right font might make it perfect. I tried half-a-dozen before settling for that one.
