Package: blender Version: 2.79+dfsg0-3+b1 Severity: important Tags: l10n 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 Switching to fully guarded memory allocator. Blender 2.79 (sub 0) argv[0] = blender argv[1] = -d read file /home/puni/.config/blender/2.79/config/userpref.blend Version 279 sub 0 date unknown hash unknown Read prefs: /home/puni/.config/blender/2.79/config/userpref.blend read file Version 272 sub 2 date unknown hash unknown ordered OBCube OBLamp OBCamera 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: https://developer.blender.org/T53744 *** End of the template - remove these template lines *** -- System Information: Distributor ID: Kali Description: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling Release: kali-rolling Codename: kali-rolling Architecture: x86_64 Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-kali1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages blender depends on: ii blender-data 2.79+dfsg0-3 ii fonts-dejavu 2.37-1 ii libavcodec57 7:3.4.1-1+b1 ii libavdevice57 7:3.4.1-1+b1 ii libavformat57 7:3.4.1-1+b1 ii libavutil55 7:3.4.1-1+b1 ii libboost-atomic1.62.0 1.62.0+dfsg-4+b2 ii libboost-chrono1.62.0 1.62.0+dfsg-4+b2 ii libboost-date-time1.62.0 1.62.0+dfsg-4+b2 ii libboost-filesystem1.62.0 1.62.0+dfsg-4+b2 ii libboost-iostreams1.62.0 1.62.0+dfsg-4+b2 ii libboost-locale1.62.0 1.62.0+dfsg-4+b2 ii libboost-regex1.62.0 1.62.0+dfsg-4+b2 ii libboost-system1.62.0 1.62.0+dfsg-4+b2 ii libboost-thread1.62.0 1.62.0+dfsg-4+b2 ii libc6 2.25-5 ii libfftw3-double3 3.3.7-1 ii libfontconfig1 2.12.6-0.1 ii libfreetype6 2.8.1-0.1 ii libgcc1 1:7.2.0-18 ii libgl1 1.0.0-1 ii libglew2.0 2.0.0-5 ii libglu1-mesa [libglu1] 9.0.0-2.1 ii libgomp1 7.2.0-18 ii libilmbase12 2.2.0-12 ii libjack-jackd2-0 [libjack-0.125] 1.9.10+20150825git1ed50c92~dfsg-5 ii libjemalloc1 3.6.0-11 ii libjpeg62-turbo 1:1.5.2-2+b1 ii libopenal1 1:1.17.2-4+b2 ii libopencolorio1v5 1.0.9~dfsg0-12 ii libopenexr22 2.2.0-11.1 ii libopenimageio1.8 1.8.6~dfsg0-4 ii libopenjp2-7 2.3.0-1 ii libopenvdb5.0 5.0.0-1 ii libpcre3 2:8.39-8 ii libpng16-16 1.6.34-1 ii libpython3.6 3.6.4~rc1-1 ii libsndfile1 1.0.28-4 ii libspnav0 0.2.3-1 ii libstdc++6 7.2.0-18 ii libswscale4 7:3.4.1-1+b1 ii libtbb2 2017~U7-8 ii libtiff5 4.0.9-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxi6 2:1.7.9-1 ii libxml2 2.9.4+dfsg1-5.2 ii libxxf86vm1 1:1.1.4-1+b2 ii python3 3.6.3-2 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-5 blender recommends no packages. blender suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
