Description Ding-Yi Chen 2009-08-26 05:30:39 UTC
Description of problem:
I have done two clean installs of Fedora 11, x86_64 and i386 respectively. 
Both are using "Traditional Chinese" during the install process and apply the
latest update after installation.

I take a look at the font size and DPI setting on both of them and they are the
same as listed below:
應用程式字型:Sans,10
文件字型:    Sans,10
桌面字型:    Sans,14
視窗標題字型:Sans Bold 10
固定寬度字型:Monospace 10
解析度:96 DPI

Then I open "gucharmap" and search the character "糓" (U+7CD4).
Change the font size to 12, 11 and 10.

The i386 version works quite well.

However, the display on the x86_64 one become messy.
And the following warning message appear on the terminal:
(gucharmap:1997): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output.
shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='AR PL UMing HK Light 12', text='糔'

(gucharmap:1997): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output.
shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='AR PL UMing HK Light 11', text='糔'

(gucharmap:1997): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output.
shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='AR PL UMing HK Light 9.9990234375',
text='糔'  

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


How reproducible:
Always in x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open "gucharmap" and 
2. search the character "糔" (U+7CD4).
3. Change the font size to 12, 11 and 10.

 
Actual results:
Display on the x86_64 one become messy.
And the following warning message appear on the terminal:
(gucharmap:1997): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output.
shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='AR PL UMing HK Light 12', text='糔'

(gucharmap:1997): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output.
shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='AR PL UMing HK Light 11', text='糔'

(gucharmap:1997): Pango-WARNING **: shaping failure, expect ugly output.
shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='AR PL UMing HK Light 9.9990234375',
text='糔'  


Expected results:
Character '糔' should be displayed properly without triggering Pango warning.

Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2009-10-06 09:22:56 UTC
Can you reproduce with F12?

If so can you provide Behdad with access please.

Comment 9 CW Lin 2009-10-07 08:00:04 UTC
This bug can be reproduced with x86_64 F12 too,

It is easy to reproduce this bug.
Just do the clean installation with the language of "Traditional Chinese".
Set DPI to 96.
Set font Size to "10, 10, 14, 10, 10" as mentioned in the bug description.
Launch the program "gucharmap".
Search the character U+7CD3 "糓"
Change the size to 12, 11 and 10, sequentially.
And you will see the messy display.

If you are too busy to install F12 with "Traditional Chinese",
I can do the installation for you.
Please provide a virtual machine with "Fedora-12-Alpha-x86_64-DVD.iso"
and let me know how to access it.

Thanks for the effort of fixing this annoying bug.

Comment 10 Jens Petersen 2009-10-08 03:34:21 UTC
Changing Desktop Font has no effect on gucharmap for me.

Comment 11 Jens Petersen 2009-10-09 04:03:02 UTC
I haven't been able to reproduce this yet: though I saw
the gdm issue on dchen's machine.

CW Lin: what does "rpm -qa \*fonts\* pango fontconfig | sort"

Output for you?

Comment 12 Ding-Yi Chen 2009-10-09 04:14:39 UTC
On affected machine, gdm login screen:

1. In language selection, select 中文 (台灣), which might shows like comment #6.
2. Login to the system.
3. cat /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log, there will be a line, such like:
gdm-simple-greeter[7797]: Pango-WARNING: shaping failure, expect ugly output. shape-engine='BasicEngineFc', font='AR PL UMing HK Light Oblique 8.33203125', text='中文 (台灣)'

Comment 13 CW Lin 2009-10-09 08:14:30 UTC
I think you did not select the language "Chinese (Taiwan) - 繁體中文".
If so, to reproduce this bug, the environment variable LANG has to be changed to "zh_TW.UTF-8".

Before you start the program "gucharmap", make sure the following configuration is set:
(1) System -> Administration -> Appearance -> Fonts -> Application Font: "Sans 10"
(2) System -> Administration -> Appearance -> Fonts -> Details -> Resolutions: "96" dots per inch

To see the messy display, enter the following command:

$ LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 gucharmap

If you enter "LANG=en_US.UTF-8 gucharmap", this bug will not be reproduced.

Also remember to set the font in gucharmap to "Sans".
Then change the size in gucharmap to 12, 11, 10 sequentially.
Now you should be able to reproduce the bug.

By the way, the output of "rpm -qa \*fonts\* pango fontconfig | sort" on my machine is as follows:

Comment 14 Jens Petersen 2009-10-09 08:33:23 UTC
If you can reproduce from a fresh install that would be useful to know.

Comment 15 CW Lin 2009-10-09 17:46:32 UTC
This bug can be reproduced from a fresh install too.

Messy Display from Fresh Install of F11 x86_64

Comment 17 Ding-Yi Chen 2009-10-12 08:09:32 UTC
We managed to reproduce the bugs with F-11 and Rawhide x86_64 Live iso.
It does not have to be in zh_TW.UTF-8, in fact, if the font is sufficient small, (e.g. 10,11), there is quite a good chance this bug will pop up.

We also find that this bug appears in gucharmap, gdm, and gnome-menu; but not gnome-terminal, gedit, and pango-view. We are still investigate the cause.

However, there are workaround for this bug, you can either:
1) Downgrade cjkunifont packages for F-9, these packages can still be found, for example, in fedora CVS (for building material) and prm.pbone.net (packed rpm).
2) If you don't really want bitmap fonts, remove /etc/fonts/conf.d/25-ttf-arphic-uming-bitmaps.conf.

Would you mind trying these?

Regards,

Comment 18 Ding-Yi Chen 2009-10-12 11:51:05 UTC
Sorry prm.pbone.net should be rpm.pbone.net

Comment 19 CW Lin 2009-10-12 16:12:19 UTC
I am glad to know that this bug was reproduced and you are trying to work it out.  My personal experience is that this bug also appears in the gnome-terminal and pango-view.  I will show it later.

Two months ago, I reported a bug 516360 that some Traditional Chinese characters will disappear within Firefox .  Now I think it may be a duplicate of this bug.  Perhaps you can look into the bug 516360 to see if it can be of any help.

For the time being, if some Chinese characters disappear in Firefox, I will try to adjust the font size, pressing Ctrl-+ or Ctrl-- until the missing characters show up.  That should be the easiest workaround to me.

Missing Characters in pango-view

#! /bin/bash

LANG=en_US.UTF-8 pango-view --waterfall --text "LANG=en_US 淿糓䶜" &
LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 pango-view --waterfall --text "LANG=zh_TW 淿糓䶜" &

Comment 21 Jens Petersen 2009-10-13 00:34:38 UTC
Moving to pango.  This is x86_64 only and looks serious.

Comment 22 Jens Petersen 2009-10-13 04:50:49 UTC
I tried with F11 x86_64 (on a 19" 1280x1024 display):

$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 pango-view --waterfall --text "LANG=en_US 糓䶜"

This displays okay for me, but:

> LANG=zh_TW.UTF-8 pango-view --waterfall --text "LANG=zh_TW 糓䶜"

hangs before rendering the first (smallest) 糓.

On rawhide with 17" monitor: similar results except LANG=en_US
hangs after first 糓.

Comment 23 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 11:41:45 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

More information and reason for this action is here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 24 Bug Zapper 2010-11-04 10:22:25 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 12.  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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '12'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Ding-Yi, can you still reproduce?

Comment 27 Ding-Yi Chen 2010-11-25 05:54:12 UTC
No I cannot reproduce it with RHEL6 (which is likely based on f12).

CW Lin, can you reproduce it with F-13 and later?

Comment 28 CW Lin 2010-11-25 10:13:21 UTC
It  seems OK in F-13
