Bug ID: 424089 Summary: Variable width font not rendered properly on KDE Konsole Product: konsole Version: 19.12.3 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: font Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org Reporter: neos...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 130033 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=130033&action=edit konosle variable width font error SUMMARY Konsole on Kubuntu 20.04 ( Konsole-19.12.3, KDE FX 5.68.0, Qt 5.12.8) does not support variable width fonts (eg. indic language fonts) and renders it as monospace. This results in unreadable output. However, Konsole on Kubuntu 18.04 (konsole -17.12.13, KDE fx - 5.61.0, QT 5.12.3) is rendering correctly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Konsole on Kubuntu 20.04 2. In the Konsole Terminal run the following commands $ echo தமிழ் வணக்கம் $ printf "\u0ba4\u0bae\u0bbf\u0bb4\u0bcd\u0020\u0bb5\u0ba3\u0b95\u0bcd\u0b95\u0bae\u0bcd\n" Both should print "தமிழ் வணக்கம்". 3. The rendered font is not readable. 4. When the same is tried in Konsole on Kubuntu 18.04 it is perfectly rendered. OBSERVED RESULT test is garbled.
