Confirm. tigervnc 1.0.90-4. Created attachment 514916 [details]
error screenshoot
This issue still persists in f17 and there are similar problems for non-English languages too because it doesn't use i18n supported APIs. Created attachment 594340 [details]
proposed patch
Well, this is minimal patch to make it internationalized. it may needs to have some customization for the XLFD or XLFD may needs to be translatable for their preferences.
Though honestly it would be better rewriting the code to get rid of the legacy font system and use fontconfig and Xft at least, instead of applying this patch.
FWIW there seems another issue on building tigervnc so far. I can't completely build it to make the package because of fails in xserver. but was still possible to test vncviewer, but anyway.
Thank you Akira. Patch works fine. This issue is no longer present in Fedora 18. Since viewer was completely rewriten in F18 and TigerVNC 1.1.X is officially dead, I'm not going to fix this issue in F17. Please upgrade to F18. |
