I upgraded from betaflight 3.X to betaflight 4.1.X and now my OSD displays weird symbols.
It seems to have replaced the crosshair. (The 3 L shapes in the center)
Expected result:
How can I fix it?

$\begingroup$ You should be able to adjust/change the crosshair in the BetaFlight OSD settings. $\endgroup$– Jacob B ♦May 1, 2020 at 3:11

$\begingroup$ Changing the crosshair position, disabling and re-enabling it didn't work. I had to reupload the font. Thanks! $\endgroup$– JoRoussMay 1, 2020 at 3:12

$\begingroup$ per your follow up instructions, the copter needs to be powered up (lipo, not just USB) to upload and save the font, right? $\endgroup$– tchthskyMay 2, 2020 at 9:27

I fixed it by re-uploading the font to the flight controller.
Some people report they need to power the quad with a LiPo for this to work. I did not need to.
- Go to Betaflight's "OSD" tab
- Click "Font Manager"
- Click "Upload Font"
I'm now back with a normal crosshair.
As @3k pointed out,
The reason for this is that the character set has changed between versions so it has to be updated on the copter.
