HUD - The chevrons in the auto-complete that separate menu levels do not match the design

as per discussion with Tim: we are rendering text and cannot intermix a graphic element in the rendered string.

the current chevron in the "greater than" from the official Ubuntu font.
please reassess

We could possibly add a new char in the ubuntu font to cover this case, but I'm not sure and it's just a possibility.
Even if it's not something that can be directly fixed in unity, now we still need to keep the bug opened to have it on track, otherwise it will get lost in the long list of 'Invalid' bugs.
The product which shows the bug is unity, in fact, so I don't know why we were closing the bug.

I changed the ayatana-bug status to Confirmed, will change to Fix committed once we will produce a required asset or an alternative solution

Sorry, I apologize for the mistake of changing the ayatana-design bug status to Confirmed. It should remain Fix Committed instead.

The design specifies a specific visual appearance for the chevrons that need to be respected irrespective of the technical solution.

If this bug involves different projects (font or indicator) feel free to add them, but this is the visuals approved and the bug should remain open until exactly this visual will be in production.

Assigning to font as Cimi suggested.

I don't think adding an additional glyph to the font is worth. Why not simply substitute this > with this › (rsaquo) ?

Please don't mess up with Ubuntu fonts. What if I change my UI font? Will you add the extra glyph to every other font I'd loke to use in my system? What about Ubuntu users that use another font because Ubuntu font still does not cover their script?

I think, with due respect, that it's better to update your designs and mockups to use an existing character like ›.

Moving the bug to Unity -- the chevron is already used as an individual asset for the Previews feature. The font is not related to this: adding a non-standard character will only create problems while customizing the deskop font or if the language is not covered by the font.
