[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1334495] Re: Two different fonts mixed to display Chinese text in all desktop applications
The problem does not exist if fonts-wqy-microhei is installed, and fonts-wqy-zenhei and fonts-droid are both uninstalled. I could also try a 14.04 LiveCD today to check if a "fresh system" has the same problem.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1334495] Re: Two different fonts mixed to display Chinese text in all desktop applications
Thanks for the additional info. Then we can leave that theory behind. It was not quite correct when I said that WenQuanYi Zen Hei was the previous default font for Chinese. It was in 13.10 in case of a Chinese locale, but that does not apply to your situation. The previous package for rendering Chinese, that was previously installed for all users, was fonts-wqy-microhei, and the new replacement is fonts-droid. http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-dev/ubuntu- seeds/kubuntu.trusty/revision/1265 So let's try to verify that the issue is related to this change: Can you please 1) reinstall fonts-wqy-microhei and 2) uninstall fonts-droid and let us know if the mixed font problem disappears that way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1334495 Title: Two different fonts mixed to display Chinese text in all desktop applications Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “fonts-droid” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Bug: In all desktop applications, two different fonts are mixed to display Chinese text.

Sorry for the late response, I must have managed to corrupt a config file, KDE currently crashes when I try to login using my main user, circling back to the login manager. Still trying to find out why, but that's another battlefield. As side effect, I created a new user, which also shows the mixed-font problem, so it shouldn't be connected to user level files. Yes, I upgraded, originally my system was installed using 13.04, and I have been upgrading twice since then. fonts-wqy-zenhei was not installed. Instead, fonts-wqy-microhei was installed, which I guessed is the new replacement? Just to try, I deinstalled fonts-wqy-microhei, but the problem persists. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1334495 Title: Two different fonts mixed to display Chinese text in all desktop applications Status in “fontconfig” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “fonts-droid” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Bug: In all desktop applications, two different fonts are mixed to display Chinese text.

When you say that you updated, I take it that you don't have a clean 14.04 install, but upgraded from 13.10. And if that's the case, the package carrying the previous default font for Chinese may still be installed. So, can you please check if the fonts-wqy-zenhei package is installed. If it is, can you uninstall it and let us know if it makes a difference. I ask this because I now fear that the fontconfig config files for fonts-wqy-zenhei and fonts-droid might conflict. This is merely a guess so far, but possibly it explains the strange mix you describe. > It is the standard font setting dialog in the KDE control center. I see. There is no similar GUI in standard Ubuntu, and I don't know exactly what it does, but for now I suggest that you keep testing with "Ubuntu" selected. After all, you have a German locale.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1334495] Re: Two different fonts mixed to display Chinese text in all desktop applications
I only have the problem since updating to 14.04, so it really might be connected to the font change. It is the standard font setting dialog in the KDE control center. I could try to change the font with a different tool to see if it would change anything. Do you know what package I would have to install to get the Gnome font settings? Or is there a more low level way to change the default font? KDE also has a dialog to choose a specific font for Gnome applications, but there the font is set to Ubuntu, too. I played a bit with the KDE font settings and tried different fonts. With some of them, Chinese text is displayed normally: *Serif *AR PL UKai CN *WenQuanYi Micro Hei The with the last two somehow make sense, as they are genue Chinese fonts. I am not sure about "Serif"? I also tried various standard fonts, they all displayed the problem: *Sans Serif *Arial *Courier *Droid Sans Mono *Droid Serif Also, I noticed that I have three different Droid Mono fonts in my system font settings. Is that supposed to be this way or might it be connected to the problem? The listed Droid fonts are: *Droid Sans [monotype] *Droid Sans [unknown] *Droid Sans Mono *Droid Serif In KDE's font manager however, Droid Sans is only displayed once. I attached screenshots for both dialogs.

Is it possibly something KDE specific that overrides fontconfig for KDE apps? If so, is there possibly a way to change them to 'neutral' values? In 14.04 the default font for rendering Chinese was changed from WenQuanYi Zen Hei to Droid Sans. This might have something to do with it.

Thanks for your report. I'm not sure about the affected packages, so let's wait with changing that. The first thing I would like you to do to sort things out is to get a pure German locale. I'm not a Kubuntu user, and can't tell how you would do it via the GUI, but probably you can fix it by editing the /etc/default/locale file manually. Can you please edit that file so it only contains the line LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 Then relogin and run the locale command.
