Subject: kate: mishandles coupled BDF fonts (probably a Qt5 issue though…) Package: kate Version: 4:15.08.3-1 Severity: normal
First off, this is probably a Qt5 issue, sorry about that, but given that the KDE/Qt maintainers are one team, and I can reproduce it with Kate (but apparently also Konqueror for <tt> on websites), I report it here first. Second, extremely sorry that reproducing this requires replacing your xfonts-base package on the repro system – I tried creating a manual reproducer but failed, it does not misbehave if I simply throw the two .bdf files in question into ~/.fonts/ (wtf?). You will need to install this package: http://www.mirbsd.org/~tg/tmp/xfonts-base_3_all.deb tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ md5sum xfonts-base_3_all.deb d81e4451e7413399f696270ce472d4f8 xfonts-base_3_all.deb tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ sha1sum xfonts-base_3_all.deb 22d2b87e626031009e0c85f380253c7619980041 xfonts-base_3_all.deb tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ sha256sum xfonts-base_3_all.deb 126513e6ca9dc1134397c678ba9e951c868568f375675ca43af8a0deaaedfa5b xfonts-base_3_all.deb Then, start Kate, click the menu S̲ettings → C̲onfigure Kate… on the left select ▾ Editor Component, then Fonts & Colours, then the F̲ont tab, and from the Font drop-down, select FixedMisc (this is distinct from “Fixed [Misc]”); this should only be available as Regular flavour with a dpi-dependent size. This font maps to two font files: tglase@tglase-nb:~ $ fc-list | fgrep FixedMisc /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/mirf18fw.pcf.gz: FixedMisc:style=Regular /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/mirf18hw.pcf.gz: FixedMisc:style=Regular Just like the Fixed [Misc] 9x18 font, this font is comprised of a 9x18 and an 18x18 bitmap part, one for half-width and one for full-width glyphs (i.e. where wcwidth() returns 1 or 2, respectively, with combining characters mostly in the half-width part). For applications like xterm, to use this font, you configure the xlfd (X long font descriptor) for both parts separately, like this in ~/.Xresources: UXTerm*VT100*font: -miros-fixedmisc-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 UXTerm*VT100*wideFont: -miros-fixedmisc-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-180-iso10646-1 For other applications, sharing the same name, style and size is enough to create the combination. The Fixed [Misc] font has the same setup, with: 18x18ko.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-ko-18-120-100-100-c-180-iso10646-1 9x18.pcf.gz -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--18-120-100-100-c-90-iso10646-1 However, there are two 18x18 variants, -ko- and -ja-, whereas the mirf18fw font has an empty variant selection. The first attached snapshot (scrnshot6.png) shows the problem: the glyphs are clearly not (except maybe ䷀) rendered from this font. The text in the edit window is: f00baräßÕÆÅ☺䷀０ The attached file scrnshot7.png shows how xterm renders this correctly. On jessie – scrnshot8.png – at least the half-width characters are rendered correctly and from the intended font, whereas the full-width characters are rendered correctly but from a different font and with a soft-focus effect or something. - -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/lksh Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages kate depends on: ii kate5-data 4:15.08.3-1 ii ktexteditor-katepart 5.16.0-1 ii libc6 2.21-6 ii libgit2-23 0.23.1-1+b1 ii libkf5activities5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5bookmarks5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5completion5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5configcore5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5configgui5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5configwidgets5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5coreaddons5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5dbusaddons5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5guiaddons5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5i18n5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5iconthemes5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5itemmodels5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5jobwidgets5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5kiocore5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5kiofilewidgets5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5kiowidgets5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5newstuff5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5notifications5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5parts5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5plasma5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5service-bin 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5service5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5texteditor5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5textwidgets5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5threadweaver5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5wallet-bin 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5wallet5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5widgetsaddons5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5windowsystem5 5.16.0-1 ii libkf5xmlgui5 5.16.0-1 ii libqt5core5a 5.5.1+dfsg-10 ii libqt5dbus5 5.5.1+dfsg-10 ii libqt5gui5 5.5.1+dfsg-10 ii libqt5sql5 5.5.1+dfsg-10 ii libqt5widgets5 5.5.1+dfsg-10 ii libqt5xml5 5.5.1+dfsg-10 ii libstdc++6 5.3.1-5 ii plasma-framework 5.16.0-1 ii qml-module-org-kde-kquickcontrolsaddons 5.16.0-1 ii qml-module-qtquick-layouts 5.5.1-2 ii qml-module-qtquick2 5.5.1-3 kate recommends no packages.
