Replace raw platform text tags ([WIN], [MAC], [LNX]) with authentic Font Awesome 6 Brands glyphs (Apple U+F179, Windows U+F17A, Linux U+F17C) in the multiplayer lobby roster. - Route Private Use Area (0xE000-0xF8FF) to dedicated AlternateBrandFont in FontCharsClass while retaining full Latin/Unicode coverage from base UI font. - Add fa-brands-400 font resolution and row buffer height clipping in FreeType renderer. - Implement FormatPlayerNameWithOSIcon and profileID-based selection preservation in WOLLobbyMenu. - Backport lobby changes to Generals base game.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe font engine resolves brand fonts, checks required glyphs, and routes brand glyphs through an alternate font. Both lobby variants display OS icons from player-name suffixes and use profile IDs and names for player lookup and roster selection. ChangesLobby OS-brand icons

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Windows players cannot see the intended OS brand glyphs, and tooltips can disappear for players without a profile ID. Fix the font check before merging; the tooltip gap is narrower. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A player’s displayed name can now differ from the identity used by lobby actions. In the legacy lobby, this can cause an ignore action to apply to the displayed label rather than the player, leaving the intended player unignored. The effect is limited to the affected client’s lobby controls; no broader privilege escalation was established. Retained concerns

In @Core/GameEngineDevice/Source/W3DDevice/GameClient/GUI/W3DGameFont.cpp:
- Around line 126-128: In the brand fallback path around Get_FontChars, validate
that the returned font is a brand face or supports the required brand glyphs
before assigning it to AlternateBrandFont; skip matches that fail validation.
In
@GeneralsMD/Code/GameEngine/Source/GameClient/GUI/GUICallbacks/Menus/WOLLobbyMenu.cpp:
- Line 751: Update the non-NGMP playerTooltip lookup to use the existing
profile-ID item data to find the matching PlayerInfo entry, rather than using
the icon-formatted display name as the PlayerInfoMap key. Preserve the raw-name
lookup for entries without a usable profile ID; leave insertPlayerInListbox
display formatting unchanged.
- Line 751: Update roster selection lookups to derive an AsciiString key from
FormatPlayerNameWithOSIcon(info.m_name) and use it consistently in all three
Generals groups, the GeneralsMD non-NGMP groups, and the NGMP name fallback.
Keep the nonzero profile-ID match unchanged.

name, not the displayed name containing an icon. Preserve or reuse the raw name
associated with the row for the PlayerInfoMap lookup, and keep the existing
tooltip behavior for other players.
