Description Kiyoteru Ariyoshi 2006-04-03 08:51:06 UTC 
Build : SL10.1 Beta9 i386

In the language selection screen during the installation, for some languages, top 1 or 2 lines are not displayed. Please see attached bitmap.

Steps:
1. Boot from CD/DVD, don't select language at this moment. Use English by default.
2. In the language selection screen, please check if the language labels are displayed correctly or not. Please see attached bitmap. Japanese, Chinese..

It may be font-size (base-line) issue.

Lang select on the boot screen

I couldn't get the correct displaying.. When I select languages, this screen won't be displayed.
I attach the language selection screen on the CD booting.

Stefan, looks like a Qt issue.
Comment 5 Stefan Hundhammer 2006-04-04 11:41:43 UTC 
Yes, that is a Qt font rendering problem in QListBox for sure.
Comment 6 Dirk Mueller 2006-05-04 14:32:15 UTC 
mike, is this a generic problem of this font or does it only happen in this qlistbox example?

It is a Qt problem. It happens only if bitmap fonts and scalable fonts
are mixed. 

The workaround is to use scalable fonts for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

Scalable fonts for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean are used if these
languages are already selected in Linuxrc.  In that case, extra fonts
are loaded into an additional ram-disk and scalable fonts can be used
for all languages.

If no CJK language is selected in linuxrc, these extra fonts
are not loaded to save RAM. Then bitmap fonts are used for CJK
and this problem occurs.

Certainly it can be fixed somehow in Qt but it is probably not easy.
