Description of problem: If I run KDE apps in Japanese locale on GNOME, their text is poorly displayed with the font looking double-spaced. How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to GNOME 2. LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 kate Actual results: Default application text appears double-spaced. Expected results: Same as for English etc (no langpack installed). Additional info: Also seems true for F11. I haven't tested under KDE.
> (no langpack installed). This seems irrelevant - even with kde-l10n-Japanese installed still happens for ascii text.
I cannot reproduce this issue on F11. it seems your local fontconfig setting causes the problem. Could you please try with a fresh new user?
Created attachment 358438 [details] Screenshot-kate.png Rawhide screenshot of "LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 kate".
I can reproduce with a fresh user in rawhide in KDE too, with ipa-*gothic-fonts installed.
Actually only with IPAPGothic
Ok, I can reproduce it with IPA gothic fonts installed.
Still see this with current rawhide.
I'm asking upstream this issue and waiting for a reply.
Tomorrow's rawhide should revert to vlgothic which help with this.
This issue has been forwarded to "upstream" and there are no way of fixing that in house (apparently fontforge is a bit buggy), I'll leave this to upstream and visit again when they have a new release in the future.
