Does your display font contain those chars? I guess so.. ? |
|
This is Tahoma, Craig... |
|
Unless Scribus installs and tries to use Bitstream fonts that do not have cyrillic characters... |
|
The same happens with Polish glyphs in splash screen messages with 1.3.3.9cvs on Linux too. At least with one or two of those messages (cannot check it right now, but I've seen it many times before). |

#if defined _WIN32 QFont font("Lucida Sans", 10); #elif defined(__INNOTEK_LIBC__) QFont font("WarpSans", 9); #else QFont font("Bitstream Vera Sans", 10); #endif Lucida Sans on Windows.. Warp Sans on OS/2 Bitstream Vera Sans on everything else if not found, QFont will degrade as per http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qfont.html what version of Windows? really xp sp2? |
|
<quoting> #else QFont font("Bitstream Vera Sans", 10); #endif </quoting> Bitstream Vera Sans is bad choice for non-English languages which leads to the broken Polish glyphs in splash screen messages on Linux. Dejavu Sans http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page would be much better. |

uploaded a screen shot of missing pl glyphs in splash screens (it happens both in 1.3.3.9cvs and 1.3.4cvs), confirming the issue |
|
As Dejavu is not distributed on all distros, I dont think its the best choice, but we can select it and fallback to Bitstream Vera if we have to. Resolving |
