This is probably also a bug in both Qt3 and Qt4 because “IPAPGothic” is displayed correctly by GTK2 applications. But it might have a different reason and it isn’t so critical at the moment. The wrong display of “IPAGothic” is important because we use this font during the Installation for Japanese (see bug #357258). -- 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.

I wonder why the workaround which I added to /etc/fonts/suse-pre-user.conf long ago doesn’t work anymore for Qt4: <!-- The dual-width Asian fonts (spacing=dual) are not rendered correctly, apparently Xft forces all widths to match. Trying to disable the width forcing code by setting globaladvance=false alone doesn't help. As a brute force workaround, also set spacing=proportional, i.e. handle them as proportional fonts: --> <match target="font"> <test name="lang" compare="contains"> <string>ja</string> <string>zh</string> <string>ko</string> </test> <test name="spacing" compare="eq"> <const>dual</const> </test> <edit name="spacing" binding="strong"> <const>proportional</const> </edit> <edit name="globaladvance" binding="strong"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> -- 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.

Yes, most of them are dual-width (i.e. one fixed width for English and another fixed width for CJK), not fixed width. I just found that even ipagp.ttf and ipamp.ttf have fixed with set to yes. For these fonts this is clearly wrong, the "p" in the file name stands for "proportional" here, these fonts have proportional English and proportional Kana. -- 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.

From the release notes http://ossipedia.ipa.go.jp/ipafont/releasenote.html: • fixed width flag set to “no” for IPAPGothic (ipagp.ttf), IPAPMincho (ipamp.ttf), and IPAUIGothic (ipagui.ttf). See also bnc359984. In Qt4 the problems have already been fixed by ignoring the “global advance width” when loading the font using freetype2, but in many other applications e.g. Qt3, these fonts were still handled as fixed width. • Glyphs for the following characters have been added: U+2014 EM DASH, U+2016 DOUBLE VERTICAL LINE, U+203E OVERLINE, U+00AC NOT SIGN, U+00A5 YEN SIGN, U+00A2 CENT SIGN, U+00A3 POUND SIGN. ------------------------------------------------------------------- -- 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.
