Comment #6 on issue 18531 by [email protected]: Can't handle embedded bitmap glyphs http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=18531
I found slightly reduced steps, Could you try this again? Resetting the preferences (step 4 below) and selecting the correct font size (step 6) seems to be important. 1. Install the Japanese font which has bitmap strikes, if it's not installed yet: $ cd /tmp $ wget http://archive.ubuntulinux.jp/ubuntu-ja/intrepid-non-free/ttf-ipafont_00203-1ubuntu0ja1_all.deb $ sudo dpkg -i ttf-ipafont_00203-1ubuntu0ja1_all.deb 2. Disable font anti-aliasing. $ /usr/bin/gnome-appearance-properties (Select "Font > Rendering > Monochrome". Verify that the font anti-aliasing in gnome-appearance-properties dialog itself is disabled immediately.) 3. Remove your preferences file to reset your font settings (font family, minimum font size, etc.) $ mv ~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences ~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences.bak 4. start Chromium in C locale. This issue seems not to be Japanese-locale specific. $ LANG=C ./sconsbuild/Debug/chrome 5. Visit the about:linux-splash page. Verify that the page is rendered correctly with default fonts. 6. Open "Options > Under the Hood > Change font and language settings" and select the following Japanese font: Serif: <<left unchanged>> Sans-Serif: IPAPGothic 18 or 20 (***NOT 14***) Fixed: <<left unchanged>> The page should turn into garbled (see the attached screen shot). Reproduced both on gHardy 64bit and on Jaunty 32bit. --Yusuke Attachments: new_Screenshot.png 138 KB -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
