Compare rendering of Konsole, Kwrite and Leafpad

Description of problem:

Konsole and also KWrite replace some non ISO-8859-1 characters of some font (for example terminus) with other font and broke rendering. Terminus includes all needed UTF-8 national characters and it works without troubles in GTK+ applications like Leafpad.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
konsole-4.9.5-1.fc18.x86_64
terminus-fonts-4.36-3.fc18.noarch

How reproducible:
In Konsole select font Terminus size 9 and write some text like:
Příliš žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select font Terminus size 9
2. Write "Příliš žluťoučký kůň úpěl ďábelské ódy"
3. Look at the output
  
Actual results:
National characters are replaced with other font

Expected results:
National characters will be used from font in UTF-8

Additional info:
This bug exists also on Mandriva/Mageia from KDE 4.0 up to now.

Comment 4 Ed Greshko 2013-05-03 01:53:00 UTC
I believe my issue is the same as above.  To recreate the problem I did the following.

1.  Installed cjkuni-ukai-fonts
2.  In "system settings" set the "General" font to UKai CN and the "Fixed-Width" font to FreeMono.
3.  In the settings for konsole set the font to either "FreeMono" or "Courier 10 Pitch.
4.  Use either vi or cat to display the contents of simp-CN.txt

If konsole is set to Courier the fonts are consistent as shown in the screen capture.

If konsole is set to FreeMono the fonts are a mixture of UKai fonts and FreeMono fonts.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 11:54:06 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 18. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'.

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 18's end of life.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be 
able to fix it before Fedora 18 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, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior to Fedora 18's end of life.

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.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 17:44:13 UTC

Comment 7 Pavel Ruzicka 2015-01-11 19:50:26 UTC
Same behaviour is in Fedora 21.

Comment 8 Pavel Ruzicka 2015-07-14 07:32:36 UTC
Same bug is in Fedora 22. This is probably some QT library bug, but I am not programmer. This bug is here for many years from KDE 4.0. It works in KDE 3.x.
Can somebody look on it? It is easy to reproduce this bug.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 18:57:41 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 10 Pavel Ruzicka 2016-07-21 16:17:41 UTC
Bug is still same also in Fedora 24.

Comment 11 Rex Dieter 2016-07-21 17:49:38 UTC
I encourage you to consider opening a bug report upstream @ bugs.kde.org (though this may ultimately be a Qt bug).

Comment 12 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 18:32:11 UTC

It was fixed in Fedora 26. It works now, but the name of "Terminus" font is "xos4 Terminus"
