That's odd - while we have different fonts for different sizes generally the characters should all be the ISO8859 codepage so should display the same, but I just tested with:

g.clear(1).getFonts().forEach((f,i) => {
  g.setFont(f).drawString(f+": àéèêùç ",0,i*20);
});

and I see the attached, so it looks like the 6x15 font has an issue with à - but is there other corruption you see?

If all software is up to date, you can install this font: https://banglejs.com/apps/?id=fontext

and messages will then use only that font which should render anything. You'll need to update your Bangle.js build to a cutting edge release to allow it to render the font in different sizes though

Looking at your screenshot, not only à, but èêùçtoo.

I ran an extended version of your test:

g.clear();
g.setFont("6x15").drawString("àâäéèêëîïôöùûüÿçœæ\nÀÂÄÉÈÊËÎÏÔÖÙÛÜŸÇŒÆ ",0,0);
g.setFont("6x15").drawString("ñõß",0,50);

(see attachment) and it looks like a bunch of characters from french are corrupted.

Spanish ñ is broken, but portuguese õ and german ß are ok.

Ok, I've just adjusted the font, so if you install the cutting edge Bangle.js build it should be fixed.

Characters like Ÿ aren't in ISO8859-1 (that's char code 376, not 0..255) so you'll have to install the Font app I linked if you want those

Thanks @gfwilliams, just flashed the cutting edge build and almost everything is shown correctly, without the need to install the Fonts app.

I hate to be a sticlker, but there is just one character that seems not correct: the lowercase ç. Its "tail" seems to be pointing right, instead of left.
The uppercase ç is ok. See attachment

Ok, I think that's fixed now - realistically the 6x15 font isn't that great anyway. The plan eventually is to try and replace them with the fonts from https://github.com/pebble-dev/renaissance which at least all share the same style

Just flashed again, everything is good now!

Thanks for your patience
