Package: locales Version: 2.7-9 Severity: normal First, this has been reported to upstream, but there is no progress for a while. Please allow me to report same one.
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4335 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ According to /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz, Character width is 1 by default. W(Wide) and F(Full Width) are 2. % Character width according to Unicode 3.2. % - Default width is 1. % - Double-width characters have width 2; generated from % "grep '^[^;]*;[WF]' EastAsianWidth.txt" % and "grep '^[^;]*;[^WF]' EastAsianWidth.txt" % - Non-spacing characters have width 0; generated from PropList.txt or % "grep '^[^;]*;[^;]*;[^;]*;[^;]*;NSM;' UnicodeData.txt" % - Format control characters have width 0; generated from % "grep '^[^;]*;[^;]*;Cf;' UnicodeData.txt" % - Zero width characters have width 0; generated from % "grep '^[^;]*;ZERO WIDTH ' UnicodeData.txt" A(Ambiguous) is expected that it is context-sensitive, but its width is always 1 irrelevant to context. According to http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/#Recommendations > When mapping Unicode to East Asian legacy character encodings > > * Wide Unicode characters always map to fullwidth characters. > * Narrow (and neutral) Unicode characters always map to halfwidth > characters. > * Halfwidth Unicode characters always map to halfwidth characters. > * Ambiguous Unicode characters always map to fullwidth characters. I think EastAsianAmbiguous character width should be 2 in CJK UTF-8 locale. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to ja_JP.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages locales depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.20 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 [glibc-2.7-1] 2.7-9 GNU C Library: Shared libraries locales recommends no packages. -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
