I like the option to include the path to each document. Is my system missing a system font or am I seeing artistic license? The path separator is a rectangle, as if there is font substitution going on. I've attached a screenshot to illustrate.

It's the unicode character for right-pointing triangle. Evidently it doesn't exist in all fonts. I checked a bunch of standard fonts, but it is clearly missing in your system font. I didn't want to use the / character because there is nothing that disallows slash in document titles, and for a Windows user it may be counter-intuitive as Windows uses \.

I will find a way to solve this.

Follow up question: Does the checkmark and cross show up on the switches on your desktop, like in the below image?

Just had a quick look at the unicode character used, and it isn't the standard triangle character. I will replace it with what seems to be the correct one, and update the header later tonight. Most likely it will render properly then. I also forced the use of the HTML entity rather than the pure unicode, so your local Qt library may then try to replace it with an equivalent as well.

The check mark and cross characters do appear correctly on my system.

Great! I just merged the fix for the missing unicode character, and this should now be fixed. I replaced it with the character.
