This is a non bug. The font choosen which is missing some characters (thus creating box with the utf8 number) depends on the user configuration.
Also now that xft1 is obsolete, obviously the font come from pango (if X still have a partial support, the configuration file /etc/X11/XftConfig is not in the x packages anymore, thus upgrade or cleanup are not performed). Xft2 use fontconfig (provide the font list, and perform a filtering for each font forge), libfreetype2 and X Render extension . This bug should either move to the whole sarge so that it use only fonts taht have all caracters for all languages (be it tibetan) by default (let s say even for firewall tasks). My main concern is why those font bugs are still listed as mozilla bugs ! mozilla does not manage fonts itself , it cannot draw font badly. Only the user can change the font settings, and fontconfig the default font (by binding serif to another font than usual). libfreetype2 can provide wrong sizes or render badly . the only way to fix those are downgrading freetype when it breaks or configuring fontconfig filters with dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig. And obviously checking the DPI either the X one (from X logs) or the gnome (gnome-font-manager), kde ones (kxconfig). For those that want most world characters check that you have the bitstream vera installed, it has tibetan, indi, georgian , maybe antic egyptian :) Also it can happens that corrupted or baldy packaged fonts make freetype2 either segfault or render improper sizes. So if it bugs just after installing a font, try removing it first. Ciao Alban -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
