Description Guillaume Poirier-Morency 2020-03-15 21:09:07 UTC
Description of problem:

The glyph for the Unicode "square four dot" character is incorrect.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

I think this problem arose when upgrading from Fedora 30 to Fedora 31.


How reproducible:

The simplest way is to start GNOME Characters Map and search for "square four dot".

Comment 1 Peng Wu 2020-03-16 04:49:26 UTC
Sorry, I only find "Squared Four Dot Punctuation" in gucharmap.

Could you provide some screenshot of gucharmap?

I think that it is a font issue.

$ fc-match :charset=0x2e2c
FreeSans.ttf: "FreeSans" "Regular"

You're right, the character is named "Squared Four Dot Punctuation".

Comment 5 Gwyn Ciesla 2020-03-16 15:17:43 UTC
It appears correct to me on Fedora 31. Can you reinstall the gnu-free-sans-fonts package?

Comment 6 Parag Nemade 2020-09-23 09:31:05 UTC
This is indeed a bug in the font file /usr/share/fonts/gnu-free/FreeSans.ttf
See https://unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2E00.pdf It appears this font got incorrect mapping for U+2E2A to U+2E2D, 4 character glyphs got wrong assignment.

Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2021-02-09 16:20:19 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 34 development cycle.
Changing version to 34.

Comment 8 Parag Nemade 2022-04-04 05:21:43 UTC
I will take this bug to fix in F36+

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2023-04-25 18:22:09 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 36 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 36 on 2023-05-16.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '36'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 36 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 Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 10 Jens Petersen 2023-05-16 06:57:50 UTC
It would be good to report upstream, if still active.

Comment 11 Ludek Smid 2023-05-25 19:31:25 UTC
Fedora Linux 36 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2023-05-16.

Fedora Linux 36 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
