I tested the bug again. Without any fonts installed the problem appear in both Iceweasel and Openoffice.org. $ dpkg -l ttf-kochi-mincho ttf-sazanami-gothic ttf-sazanami-mincho Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ pn ttf-kochi-minc <none> (no description available) un ttf-sazanami-g <none> (no description available) un ttf-sazanami-m <none> (no description available) Only after installing ttf-kochi-mincho package, both softwares showed the 3rd line correctly. $ dpkg -l ttf-kochi-mincho ttf-sazanami-gothic ttf-sazanami-mincho Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii ttf-kochi-minc 1.0.20030809-4 Kochi Subst Mincho Japanese TrueType font wi un ttf-sazanami-g <none> (no description available) un ttf-sazanami-m <none> (no description available) My conclusions are that the fonts used to display the first two lines comes from another font package on the system. Thus, I think the bug should be closed. -- Lior Kaplan [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG fingerprint: C644 D0B3 92F4 8FE4 4662 B541 1558 9445 99E8 1DA0
