           Summary: Problems with some Chinese characters
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: Ed.Greshko greshko com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

In konsole and other kde applications some problems with certain Chinese
characters seems to have crept in when running with LANG=en_US.UTF-8.

Using 钉 as an example...

In konsole on RHELv4 (konsole 1.4.1) 钉 can only be displayed when the
Large or Huge fonts are selected or if certain custom fonts/sizes are
selected.  Not ideal...but workable.

In konsole of Fedora C5 I could not find any combination of settings,
short of changing my LANG settings, to display 钉 and other characters.

The same holds true for the konsole supplied in SuSE 10.  I can't boot
that system at the moment so I don't know the versions.

FWIW, the application "mlterm" (multilingual terminal) works find under
KDE as well as gnome-terminal under both gnome and KDE.
