Long time ago I was using "AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni" and "AR PL ZenKai Uni" for Chinese characters and defined in fontconfig. Most other people and gentoo default does the samiliar, take a look at your default fontconfig, there are some Chinese fonts in the list of 'Serif' font face. This setting has effect in every gnome (or, gtk) application except OOo. OOo wasn't using the right font for Chinese, I don't know what font is OOo trying to use for Chinese text on the UI, could be Kochi Mincho or something, but the result is many Chinese characters are either missing or in wrong position or ugly. This only happens on the UI elements like buttons, text inputs, text boxes... not on the document itself.
So: 1) Is there a way to change the user interface font used by OOo? Thus I can specify OOo to use the 'right font'. 2) Is there a way to know what font OOo is trying to use on interface when displaying Chinese? Thus I can set fontconfig replacement for that font. any good idea? I believe most Chinese users of OOo (could be even some Korean users) also have this problem. I was expecting this problem being solved in OOo 2.0 because it promised a native widget and in the past I though this was a bug for OOo running in non-KDE environment. Now OOo 2.0 is just like it's ealier versions. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
