For me it doesn’t. The language and fonts of the UI come from kcontrol, therefore I get exactly the same UI whether I start LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 konsole & LC_ALL=ja_JP.UTF-8 konsole & Uli> Running, for example, konsole with language en_US “en_US” is a typo, isn’t it? “LC_ALL=en_US konsole” gives a terminal running in en_US locale (single byte) and Japanese is displayed as question marks anyway. The font I can see in the prompt in both your screenshots is apparently “Misc Console”, a 8x16 pixel bitmap font. Qt3¹ apparently has lots of problems using scalable fonts and bitmap fonts at the same time, this often leads to clipping of the bitmap fonts (as in your “konsole-in-english.png” screenshot). A reasonable workaround for this problem is to specify a scalable font for konsole as the main font in the font setup menu of console, for example “DejaVu Sans Mono”. If I do this, I always get a scalable font selected for Japanese as well and there is no clipping.² ¹ By the way, it doesn’t seem to be much better in Qt4 either, mixing bitmap fonts and scalable fonts tends to cause clipping of the bitmap fonts, see bug #357258. ² But the Japanese characters don’t set correctly on the baselines when starting konsole in en_US.UTF-8 locale. -- 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.
