Description of problem: The fonts display of multi-byte language is borken, after I upgrade my fedora core 5 installation today. The default of may env is set ot LANG=en_US.UTF-8 Now when using a enlish only fonts, chinese charactars is diplayed as a empty square under kde. I have to set the system fonts to a chinese fonts to get the charactars displayed correctly. Before it was all working. gnome is all ok. It is a problem of kde, including kde-apps running under gnome. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Upgrade fedora core 5. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use kcontrol to set kde fonts to a english only fonts. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
It seems you did not install the kde-i18n-Chinese and kde-i18n-Chinese-Big5 packages. Both packages are needed to get the charactars displayed correctly. You don't need to set the system fonts to a chinese fonts. Please make sure that the fonts-chinese package should be installed.

I tried reinstall i18n packages today, still having the problem.
strange, it works without any problem here. i have tried with kbabel. It displays the chinese charactars correctly. It sounds a problem in your setting. Could you please try with a new user (default seeting from FC) and looks if the problem still appears? Thanks it would be great if you could attach the output of: rpm -qa | grep fonts rpm -qa | grep kde thanks
It doesn't work with the new user, same problem. I tried with konsole, it works with the monospace fonts, but all other fonts doesn't work, just showing up a big square. Actually I have another machine in my home, which is working fine. But I only upgrade part of packages not all of them on that machine. Now I am a afraid of upgrading them all :).
