Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
- installed the blender via apt-get from repository of Kali.
please note that this packages is an unmodified one from Debian
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
- in blender created a text object(On the left pane select tab Create,
(scroll down), find "Other" section, click "Text"
then on the bottom pane click on "Object Mode" drop down, select "Edit
mode", notice non blinking cursor appearance
on the rendered text object, then put russian character or english
characters with keyboard; nothing will
be displayed, while normal editing commands(like delete) and putting
non-russian text works)
tried to edit and enter a russian character and failed to do so.
Russian character are displayed in the UI of blender fine but are not
rendered.
no matter what I do I can't make it work for this one need to install
the keyboard switcher
- I am able to see the Russian characters in the UI of blender, however,
not in the render of
the text object.
- in the output of blender noticed, that following error messages are
displayed:
[Tue Jan 9 08:57:51 UTC 2018]:~$ blender -d

BLF_get_unifont: 'Dejavu Sans' font not found with fontconfig
BLF_get_unifont_mono: 'Dejavu Sans Mono' font not found with fontconfig
- I am suspecting that this behaviour has something to do with the
following thread:
https://developer.blender.org/T53106
and following patch:
https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-multimedia/blender.git/tree/debian/patches/0006-look_for_dejavu_ttf_with_fontconfig.patch?h=debian/2.79%2bdfsg0-2
Lines 186 and 220
To me it seems that an attempt was made to load another font, however,
it is failing.
This or similair bug was reported earlier and is not marked as fixed:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=833962
- Note: On my system I see that fc-list has "Dejavu*" while the patch
expects "DejaVu", not sure if this is root cause.
See the following output from fc-list:
[Tue Jan 9 08:24:01 UTC 2018]:~/bin$ fc-list | grep -i "Dejavu Sans Mono"
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf: DejaVu Sans Mono:style=Book
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-Oblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans
Mono:style=Oblique
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-BoldOblique.ttf: DejaVu Sans
Mono:style=Bold Oblique
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf: DejaVu Sans
Mono:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/dejavu/DejaVuSansMono-Bold.ttf: DejaVu Sans
Mono:style=Bold
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf: DejaVu Sans
Mono:style=Book
* What was the outcome of this action?
- I have failed to add a russian character into the text object of
blender
* What outcome did you expect instead?
- I expected to see russian character added in blender
- As I am not 100% sure on the origin of the issue I have also
submitted this report:
