Hi. This is still an issue in KDE 3.5.10. I keep my Kubuntu up to date via
the updater tool.
Can anyone else replicate this issue on their Ubuntu or KDE install?
Thanks,
Kevin

Bug description:
Hi,
This bug is related to #149348.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/149348
I already reported to KDE/KWrite, but was told to report here instead.
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172638
Here is my issue:
Description:
Opened: 2008-10-12 10:09 Last Changed: 2008-10-13 21:08:56
Version: 4.5.9 (using 3.5.9, Kubuntu (hardy) 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.1)
Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-19-generic
Hi, When I use the font 'Monospace', the kanji (絵) is missing. It draws as
a square with black border and transparent fill -- a generic missing
character image.
See the Wiktionary page here: http://li.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%B5%B5
I noticed I can see it inside my Firefox browser, but the app title (drawn
by KDE libs) draws the kanji as a square when you open the Wiki page above.
Try to copy and paste the kanji into KWrite to replicate.
I cannot find another fixed width font that has this kanji. I only know
courier, and it doesn't work there either.
This bug report may appear misdirected, but I don't know how to file a bug
for a font missing a character. Apologies in advance!
Otherwise, KWrite and KDE is dandy. Thanks for your hard work. I appreciate
it!
Kind regards,
Kevin Connor Arpe

As you note, this is most likely not a kwrite bug, nor even a KDE bug, and
further may be no bug at all. I suggest taking this to your distribution's
support forums; most likely, you are simply missing a font that provides
kanji, or possibly fontconfig is misconfigured. Your distro will be better
able to guide you to ascertaining if there is truly a bug. Worth mentioning
is that I am able to see/use 絵 (and indeed, many other kanji) in kwrite
without trouble.
