Re: [kde] no more unicode in 3.5.4



I just upgraded from 3.5.1 to 3.5.4.
I use Bitstream Vera Sans 8 in most parts of KDE.

Now, in 3.5.1, KDE apps as well as others were capable of displying certain
unicode signs like japanese Kanji like for example here:
http://sylpheed.good-day.net/ja/

In all other apps still works fine: qt apps like Opera, gtk2 apps like
Firefox.
But konq = no go, same with klipper and others.
I used Vera before, no changes here either.

Now - what happened? There where other upgrades, too, like X (6.9.0) and
fontconfig. Don't know where to investigate.

Hi!
I'm regularly updating KDE 3.5 branch for every week (by means of svn update
and recompile). I've never encountered a problem with unicode (but I don't use
Vera because they don't contain characters for my locale (czech)). However,
using other fonts makes no problem, all characters including Kanji look OK.
So, maybe
- your KDE 3.5.4 package is broken
- another upgrade broke it (both X (contains the fonts) as well as fontconfig
can be guilty).
With regards, Pavel Troller
