Description Jens Petersen 2002-07-03 06:06:48 UTC
Description of Problem:
With the default system locale set to Japanese.  The text lines
immediately above and below the login/password entry box and
the gdm "panel" labels are unreadable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gdm-2.4.0.0-6

How Reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set system locale to Japanese
2. Restart gdm

Actual Results:
All the text (except "Welcome to <hostname>" is so faint
as to be completely unreadable.

Expected Results:
The text should be clearly visible.

A font configuration issue one presumes.

Should be fixed in pango-1.0.99.020703-3.

- For FT2 backend, supply FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP to avoid problems with
  fonts with embedded bitmaps (#67851)

Comment 4 Leon Ho 2002-07-16 01:33:54 UTC
Will it disable the embedded bitmap feature for GNOME2 all together?

Comment 5 Jens Petersen 2002-07-16 08:46:04 UTC
Confirmed fixed.  Thanks.

Comment 6 Owen Taylor 2002-07-16 15:59:39 UTC
No, this only disables it for rendering text via the GNOME canvas.

In most other places, bitmaps will be used as long as antialiasing
is off. (Offering the option of using embedded bitmaps where they
exist and antialiasing elsewhere may be something we want to do
eventually.)
