Is that the same version as is currently in the Intrepid repository? That's the version I use: 2.4.7-1ubuntu1
The fonts in the xfonts-efont-unicode-ib package are listed as h14_bi.pcf, h16_b.pcf, etc., both by the Gimp and other programs, so I suppose that's because they don't have proper names. Selecting one of them has no effect on how text typed in the Text Editor dialog is displayed however. Not for text in Latin alphabet nor for text in kana or kanji. Selecting a different font (say, 'DejaVu Sans') only affects the Latin text, not the kana or kanji characters. 'DejaVu Sans Bold Oblique' would result in the Latin text becoming bold and italic, but the kana/kanji text remains unchanged. The font selector in for example the Gnome Control Center has a separate list of font styles (as opposed to including them in the font name). That means that when I select 'Italic' in that list, that style is applied to the text in the rendered sample, regardless of the characters used. This is what I would like to be able to do in the Gimp too. Does this explain the issue more clearly? Let me know if you need more info. -- Doesn't allow bold/italic selection on Japanese fonts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/207700 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
