*** Bug 665803 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Sounds like glyph substitution problems really, with a font that doesn't have true bold/italic variants so they need faking up and something is going awry. What's the font, and what's the locale, and give me some sample text. i.e. a) output of "locale" b) and what does it say in format->character under "CTL font" when the error exists c) and some sample text ?, would it be possible to just create a document which displays the error and attach it here For me locally if I launch from a si_LK locale then I already get LKLUG as my default font, and turning on bold/italic works fine. Launching from hi_IN and I get Lohit Devanagari as my default font, and bold/italic apparently works as well with that font. I can't reproduce this, so I'll have to close this bug. I'm sure the bug still exists, so please attach a document which reproduces this for you when the text is toggled bold/italic. And the other requested information would be helpful too and feel free to reopen then. I have tested in en-US after configuring iBus Sinhala. but this will work if you select LKLUG font at least for a one time this issue wont appear again.. Btw... one of following actions will fix it temporally 01. Easiest way: Enable iBus Change the font to LKLUG (or any Sinhala Unicode font) you have to fix this only once per account 02. Tools > Options > Languages Set the CTL value from 'Hindi' to 'none' *CTL – Complex Text Layout I need a route to reproduce it, not a route to make it go away. When it is broken what font is shown in format->character, is it a secret :-). If you can just attach a document which is broken for you that might help a great deal. Font = DejaVu Sans Condensed Format = Bold or/and Italic Created attachment 473357 [details]

still can't reproduce this, attach the output of fc-list -v > /tmp/allfontinfo Most probably an edge case in glyph substitution. If the text was set to its correct language, that'd probably fix it too. Created attachment 473372 [details]
fonts info
attached the font info file
Aha, gnu-free-serif-fonts is the trigger. Reproducible now. puke, FreeSerif provides a bold and italic version of the font, but while the non-bold/non-italic fonts have the required glyphs, the bold and italic ones don't. Sigh. Hmm, everything is set up to assume that a Bold/Italic font has the same glyphs as its default variant. Created attachment 530122 [details]
some groping towards a solution
fix will be in 3.4.4.1-3.f17 |
