Issue ID: 125483
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Corrupted font display on Japanese OS/2 systems
Product: General
Version: 4.1.0
Hardware: PC
OS: OS/2
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: ui
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: alts...@gmail.com
Entering Japanese text in a text document on a Japanese language version of
OS/2 results in unreadable characters on the screen. Specifically, kanji and
fullwidth kana characters either do not appear at all, or else are drawn
superimposed on top of one another in the first character column. This occurs
with any Japanese-capable TrueType font, including "GOTHIC", "MINCHO", "MS 明朝",
"M+ 2p", "Times New Roman WT J", "Arial Unicode MS", etc.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open or create a text (Writer) document.
2. Copy some Japanese text to the clipboard in Firefox (or some other
application supporting the Unicode clipboard).
3. Paste the text into Writer.
(Use of the clipboard is necessary to enter kanji, due to IME conversion
support not working as per ticket #125469. For fullwidth kana, the system input
buttons for hiragana or katakana at the bottom of the desktop can be used for
direct entry.)
Actual Results:
CJK characters other than halfwidth katakana either do not display, or appear
drawn on top of one another in a single column.
Expected Results:
The CJK characters should be displayed correctly.
Build:
OpenOffice 4.1.1 OS/2 RC3 (running on IBM ThinkPad X60, eComStation 2.x
Japanese).
Additional Builds & Platforms:
Another user has confirmed the problem with OpenOffice 2.4 on IBM ThinkPad R51.
Additional Information:
The issue does NOT occur when pasting Japanese text into OpenOffice Writer on a
non-Japanese version of OS/2. The problem appears specific to the Japanese DBCS
OS version.
The issue occurs regardless of whether Innotek Font Engine version 2.4 or
2.6beta is installed.
