[Bug 1475205] Re: Random Chinese character missing with Ubuntu font

 

Could you please test on vivid+overlay with the silo 33
(https://launchpad.net/~ci-train-ppa-
service/+archive/ubuntu/landing-033/). The debdiff is
http://paste.ubuntu.com/12013270/. For example: citrain device-upgrade
33 0000 ubuntu

Check with dpkg -s libqt5core5a that the version is 5.4.1+dfsg-2ubuntu8

Please share your test results. On my mako I can't see a difference. The
example in comment #17 seems to always work my mako. But the test code
from comment #12 always tends to have one letter missing, with or
without the PPA.

So arale/krillin results would be welcome. I don't see regressions, so
if even one case is fixed with the updated qtbase I can land this, but I
can't see differences on my mako.

  Random Chinese character missing with Ubuntu font

Bug description:
  After applied 50 GU setting in image, we started seeing randomly
  missing Chinese characters across scopes and apps header, not clipped
  at the begin or end of string, sometimes in the middle.

  STEPS:

  1. Switch display language to zh_CN in system settings
  2. Reboot the phone

  EXPECTED:

  I should see all header strings displayed properly.

  ACTUAL:

  Randomly missing character.

  VERSIONS:

  current build number: 51
  device name: arale
  channel: ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/meizu.zh-proposed
  last update: 2015-07-16 04:59:10
  version version: 51
  version ubuntu: 20150716
  version device: 20150709-8965e37
  version custom: 20150716-819-9-6

  ---------- update ----------
  The problem of missing characters can be reproduced even on a desktop, outside of the header, without importing Ubuntu.Components:

  import QtQuick 2.0
  Item {
      width: 800
      height: 600

      Text {
          anchors.centerIn: parent
          text: "系统设置 one two"
          font.family: "Ubuntu"
          font.pixelSize: 69
          font.weight: Font.Light
      }
  }

  The problem only appears to occur with this specific combination of
  font family, pixelSize and weight. Tim Peeters reproduced the problem
  on vivid on a laptop without changing the default settings for the
  language (LANGUAGE="en_US").
