Last modified: 2006-03-21 12:05:25 UTC
Corrupted texts in Yast options (Note: nearly every options have corruption issues, I have attached few samples ) SL10.1 SCH Beta4 Steps: 1. Login with GNOME 2. Launch YAST. 3. Open up Yast & then Select 'hardware' option 4. Select 'scanner' option or select "TV Card". Expected Result: No corrupted issue. Actual Result: corrupted strings appear

This is an issue only with GNOME. The strings appear fine in KDE. Not sure what is causing it.
thanks for investigating! One of the Gnome expert to check it, please--see #c3 c#3.
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?
hmm, one possible reason why it appears only in GNOME is the qtrc written differently - e.g. different fonts.
jpr asked: "Kerry, was GNOME and KDE tried on the same hardware?"
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).
The same bug has been reported before as bug #147228 (now closed already).
It is reproducible not only in GNOME, Takashi and me could also reproduce it with FVWM2.
The problem disappears if scalable Chinese fonts (ttf-founder-simplified) are installed.
What does this mean? Adding "Provides: locale(zh)" to the ttf-founder-simplified spec file?
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.
thanks for the info!
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 :)
