I tried just loading the example file in kwrite, and the chars from the utf8 range are displayed as spaces. I don't know if it's a font problem or what. Problem persists whether the paste came from firefox or KDE 4 apps (which don't have a problem with it). When KDE4 and KDE3 use the same font, the utf8 chars are rendered correctly in KDE 4, and boxes or blanks in KDE 3 (tested with Cumberland AMT and Monospace) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Qt3 is very bad in searching for fallback fonts, especially for “exotic” stuff like IPA or symbols. Qt3 assumes that a font which has a certain test character (or in some cases a few test characters) for a certain region of Unicode has this region complete. This assumption usually works for Japanese, if one Japanese Kanji is there, one can be reasonably sure that the others will be there as well. Same for Russian, Thai, etc.…　 There are not many fonts which have only a few Cyrillic characters but not all of them (But even this is a problem sometimes with Qt3!). But for symbols and IPA this assumption is idiotic. There is no reason to assume that a font which has ☺ must also have ☹. For IPA, which is what Lars uses in his signature, (“Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ]”) Qt3 doesn’t even try to check whether a font has any IPA characters. Either the user selected font or the fontconfig selected default font already has IPA or it won’t work. Qt4 is much better in this respect, it has a single glyph fallback (something which GTK2 had for many years already). I.e. it check for each glyph whether it is already available in the fonts used so far or searching yet another fallback font for that glyph is necessary. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

As a workaround one can used fonts which are known to support IPA like the DejaVu fonts. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
