This is an issue only with GNOME. The strings appear fine in KDE. Not sure what is causing it.

Comment 4 Karl Eichwalder 2006-02-27 16:49:34 UTC

thanks for investigating!  One of the Gnome expert to check it, please--see #c3 c#3.

Comment 5 JP Rosevear 2006-02-27 18:41:07 UTC

I don't see how this could be related to GNOME at all, those look like bogus UTF8 characters and yast is a QT application.

Kerry, was GNOME and KDE tried on the same hardware?

Comment 6 Stephan Kulow 2006-02-28 07:02:02 UTC

hmm, one possible reason why it appears only in GNOME is the qtrc written differently - e.g. different fonts.

Comment 7 Karl Eichwalder 2006-02-28 08:37:14 UTC

jpr asked: "Kerry, was GNOME and KDE tried on the same hardware?"

Comment 8 JP Rosevear 2006-02-28 13:20:27 UTC

Coolo, I thought QT/KDE just wrote to .fonts? Also currently on a default GNOME install:

jpr@zugzwang:~> ls .qt*
qt_plugins_3.3rc

There is no .qtrc file (which is covered elsewhere).

Comment 9 Mike Fabian 2006-02-28 15:27:11 UTC

The same bug has been reported before as bug #147228 (now closed already).

Comment 10 Mike Fabian 2006-02-28 15:28:36 UTC

It is reproducible not only in GNOME, Takashi and me could also
reproduce it with FVWM2.

Comment 11 Mike Fabian 2006-02-28 15:35:23 UTC

The problem disappears if scalable Chinese fonts (ttf-founder-simplified)
are installed.

Comment 12 Karl Eichwalder 2006-03-02 13:31:47 UTC

What does this mean?  Adding "Provides: locale(zh)" to the ttf-founder-simplified spec file?

Comment 13 Mike Fabian 2006-03-02 14:15:31 UTC

It means that the problem is not so serious because it won't occur if
the installation works as it should.  Until now we always had problems
that language specific packages were not installed correctly (See bug
#151821).

If the language specific packages are correctly installed, Chinese
TrueType fonts will be there after an installation in Chinese and this
problem will not occur.

Nevertheless there is a bug somewhere because even when only bitmap
fonts are available, it should still work.

Probably a bug in Qt.

Comment 14 Karl Eichwalder 2006-03-02 14:48:16 UTC

thanks for the info!

Comment 15 Stephan Kulow 2006-03-02 15:26:03 UTC

ok, we won't fix a bug that won't happen if the installation works fine. Some day all Qt code will use qt4 and then yast will have different bugs :)
