Description Petr Sklenar 2010-03-29 15:41:29 UTC
Created attachment 403315 [details]
release notes of rhel55 in VNC session

Description of problem:
If I look at release notes during anaconda installation of rhel55 (in VNC session) there are many strange signs, bad encoding?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhel55

How reproducible:
always, I take a look only to ia64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start kickstart rhel55
2. click to "Release Notes"
3. see many strange signs - there is screenshot in attachment.
it seems that all 'code text with commands examples' are not shown 
  
Actual results:
strange signs

Expected results:
no strange signs

The offending parts on the screenshot are places where we list kickstart code or commands. Those are the <pre> and <span>/<strong> html tags. Could it be that the widget used in anaconda is not able to show those correctly?

Comment 2 David Cantrell 2011-07-27 17:18:35 UTC
The release notes viewer uses the gtkhtml2 Python module, which is pretty limited in what it can and cannot show.  Check the gnome-python2-gtkhtml2 package on RHEL-5 for more information on the module's limitations.
