Display Name gone next Day???

[Nikita Neuman]

I got this Problem and i hope someone know why and can please help   TYSM

I get me my Display NAme Signs mostly from here:

https://coolsymbol.com/cool-fancy-text-generator.html

The Fontstyle works, cause i see it after add it to my Display Name in Profile, LL is ok with it, otherwise they Message would show up: Those SIgns are not supported in Firestorm!

Now, when i log in next Day, the Display Name is gone and i cant change anything anymore? And this is not the first Time, that happened already.

Can LL delete without Warning a Display Name and Why, i took as Display Name a normal Standard Human Name "Natalya"

Tysm for help out

It will be gone within an hour. That's how long the server takes to decide to spit it back at you. The web profile takes longer to update. Firestorm has no control over display names or web profiles. 

See this bug report for an explanation  https://jira.secondlife.com/browse/BUG-11555  along with related links.

This, 1000% this.

It would be nice to be able to use display names instead of seeing stupid stuff you can’t read.

Although I have been considering changing my display name to a bar-code, you’ll need to scan my name with your phone to see who I am.

Epic win on all counts. Either way, anything other than plain alpha-numeric characters will always get an address from me as "The one formerly known as [account_name]".

Uhm, i dont think, that this FONT is so bad to read, its normal like Handwritten:

 

𝓔𝔁𝓪𝓶𝓹𝓵𝓮

So, whats so wrong on this Font, this is a beautyful Handwriting Style, before i had also some Font Style from Fancy Text Generator and that worked without Problems.

Thx

That looks like the same font given as a bad example HERE

Just wait till we have emoji support in the viewer (and display names).  It will be glorious
Soon ™

In this coming golden age, iPad OS will support Comic Sans.

annnd hopefully when it comes to a viewer near me then I be able to select rainbow, where each character is a different random color

Sorry, not going to cross my eyes in any effort to even try, ms. Formerly known as Nikita Neuman. Just saying.

That won't help because all fonts are not supported as noted on the bug report, and it appears those sites just throw them all together. Unless you can distinguish one font type from another, it will be hit and miss. You absolutely want to avoid Unicode font, but I couldn't say specifically what other font types.
