Screenshot of the problem with Writer. Compare: the Firefox window with Chinese menu behind, which is displayed correctly.

Same problem, with GNOME as DE
The bug is reproducible with both XFCE4 and GNOME. The first screenshot is
taken from XFCE4, and this new one is from GNOME. In the uppermost window, the
four characters beside the little flags icon are correctly rendered (they stand
for "Language Settings" in Chinese), but as you can see, everything else is
replaced by random pixels.
I confirmed my OO.o setting is no problem. I ran oowriter with environ.
variable LC_ALL=C and settled the Language Setting part. As soon as the locale
variable is set to my Chinese locale the problem is reproduced. I even tried
deleting my whole ~/.openoffice2.0 directory but the issue remained.

looks ok for me
This works ok for me as shown above so... a) what's selected in system->preferences->look and feel->appearance->fonts for appearance ? b) what font is shown under that dialogs "application font", and what is the output of fc-match "that font name", e.g. fc-match "Sans" c) does it make a difference to use export SAL_DISABLE_CAIROTEXT=1 ? d) and for reference what is your video driver, i.e. output of grep drivers /var/log/Xorg.0.log The font is "DejaVu Sans" (DejaVuSans.ttf: "DejaVu Sans" "Book"). I tried some CJK fonts (uming) The video driver is /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so. It DOES make this problem disappear if the environment variable SAL_DISABLE_CAIROTEXT=1 is exported. Hmm, what's the setting for (under gnome) system->preferences->look and feel->appearance->fonts->rendering Is it "monochrome" ? Does it make a difference to try another setting e.g. "best shapes" So is the font setting "monochrome" and does it ake a difference to try e.g. "best shapes" ? I'm going to go out here on a limb and claim that its fixed in 2.4.1 as in latest fedora 9 update. If this is not true, then feel free to reopen |
