@simevidas@geoffyuen the check-mark is rendered using the fallback font which has a bitmap at the requested size which is what we render.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@simevidas@geoffyuen No, the webfont doesn't include the checkmark symbol so the fallback font is used.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -
