Thanks for confirming that, Fumihito. I propose that equivalent changes are merged into the Lucid and Maverick backports. Branches with the changes (links above) were uploaded to my PPA (https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/lang-backports), and the resulting builds have been installed and run successfully.
When working with the backports, I realized that the changes in the branch intended for Oneiric and Natty were not sufficient; while they addressed the command "fontconfig voodoo -a", the failure to set the configuration by clicking the "Apply System-Wide" button in Language Support hadn't been dealt with. I updated the branch accordingly, so now the merge proposal for Oneiric should be ok. An updated build is available at https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/misc . @Fumihito Since the changes will go to lucid-backports, maverick-backports, and - hopefully - natty-proposed, your assistance with testing these new branches would be valuable. ** Also affects: lucid-backports Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: maverick-backports Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: lucid-backports Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: maverick-backports Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/778869 Title: [natty] fontconfig-voodoo -a does not work in Japanese locales -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
