Are there any alternative font extensions that are PF2 friendly? I use Font-Roboto-FGU.ext for my 5e campaigns, but in PF2 the font does not display the action icons except in STAT blocks and the CT (strangely). In story entries, they show up as an empty square or similar.

I just want the font to be a little bigger, but I don't want to change the UI scale.

Do the fonts include the PF2 action symbols?

For Roboto this is not a problem for character sheets, but description text misses the symbols or rather displays something else instead:

I did not update the extension for quite some time, though, because I slightly changed it for myself (font sizes). That being said, I did not expect those Google fonts to come with the symbols, so it is what it is.

I forget the Unicode numbers (or ASCII) but the numbers that are used are Blank (or control codes not really used), that X symbol is FG displaying the character in that number slot (which is blank atm)
You have to use an editor (cant remember one I used but there are plenty) and PUT the PF symbols in the various blank slots of the font. Then re-save the font as the edited one.
