Bug 525046

I think this bug should be filed against either gnome terminal or whomever maintains the fonts.

Also you may want to check that this isn't a dup of 517878

Dumping the output in a file and opening that in gedit shows something that (to my non-Indian eyes) looks correct. 

Font issue, maybe ?

Well, we don't support complex text in the terminal.  That's just it, right?

ya, it is right, is there any workaround to use en_US instead of indic locale, if not for all users, but "su -" minimum?

Is konsole ok?

Dunno if there is any way to detect that a shell is running
in a gnome-terminal?  Ah maybe COLORTERM=gnome-terminal ?

Created attachment 362630 [details]
screenshot of Gnome-terminal + Konsole

Konsole is more readable Text than gnome-terminal as rendering is not broken,
but only upper/lower part are not working for it.

Screenshot attached for reference

I don't have any smart ideas other than disabling
Indic/complex text locales in bash by default in
interactive shells for now?
(Similarly to how we disable CIJK on the console.)

But but, if we do that then GUI programs
launched from a gnome-terminal won't be in
native language.

Hmm I really don't see a good way to handle
this right now.

right, I am not sure about my query (so asking)
is user run more GUI applications than TUI from g-t?
or Is there any way to find a application using X or not from g-t?

How about we just fix the terminal? :)

Complex text in terminal is a nontrivial task.  How about disabling yum translations for complex languages for now?

1) Actually problem is not with Yum Translation (as yum is not translated for Punjabi or other CTL ),  it is using 'compos' translation to shows package information or Group 
data (as in Screen-shot). Need to know how we can disable that?

*That Data it render properly when use with GUI Frontend (gpk-application or gpk-update-viewer).

2) Various Other Commands like 
* rpm -qi <PackageName>
* su -
* date
* /etc/init.d/<ServiceName> Start/Stop

more in this list can be collected.

Either we can set Default language for terminal en_US (comment #8) with #9 problem
or we can disable locale (Indic) for some packages like yum or services (2), but need to collect list of it.

Thanks

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

problem still exist with latest version for Fedora (F14), moving bug to Fedora 14, tested packages:
yum-3.2.28-5.fc14.noarch
pango-1.28.1-4.fc14.i686

This may be a dumb question since we don't see any improvements on the complex text support on the terminal, but.. it would be always good to check and update bz with the latest version.  So.. does this still persist on f16?
