plasma-devel at kde.org is not mark-gaisers-workflow at kde.org.

Bug reports go to bugs.kde.org. User support happens on the

Ah c'mon. Take a look at the glyph data with FontForge and then get

Here's Google Chrome overlaid over the SVG though, re default

Did you even check this stuff or is it OK if it's my time ...?

I don't, and I know this stuff pretty well.
