That is fine but in the case reported here it is not done well. You can see in the screen shot that a completely different font is used for the ‘~’ character when Japanese locale is used *and* no other character is in the string which triggers pango to use an English font. In English locale, the English font is used by default even for the ‘~’ character alone. But in Japanese locale, pango starts using a Japanese font until it encounters a character which triggers another font. Special characters like ‘~’ and digits don’t seem to trigger an English font but probably they should. -- 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.

(When run in ja_JP.UTF-8 locale, firefox uses pango by default, you can see that in the startscript /usr/bin/firefox.) In this screen shot, you see that the character ‘0’ at the beginning of a line is displayed in a different font depending on what characters follow. Same problem for the ‘~’ character and other special characters. Takashi Iwai found this bug while typing in entry widgets in Firefox. -- 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.
