Description of problem: The current gnome-terminal is displaying Japanese characters at all in a Japanese locale. Whitespace appears instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-2.1.3-2 vte-0.10.7-2 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: Start a new gnome-terminal session in ja locale % killall -9 gnome-terminal % LANG=ja_JP gnome-terminal % date Actual results: 2002 12 20 16:55:13 JST Expected results: 2002<nen> 12<gatu> 20<nichi> <kinyoubi> 16:55:13 JST where the words in <>'s represent kanji Additional info: Has been working until quite recently. Korean and Chinese seem to be ok.
Please, file all terminal emulation/behavior bugs against vte, gnome-terminal is just the menus and dialogs and command line options.
It works for me. I've installed it with freshly Everything install from Phoebe-re1220.Beta3-RC3.
A bit strange. I got a desktop install and it couldn't display. FC_DEBUG=1 shows that it uses Luxi Mono. Actually look like fontconfig font matching has changed. Has the latest update changes anything on that?
I think this was actually due to fontconfig problems that got fixed in Phoebe beta2.
