Package: ttf-vlgothic Version: 20080624-1 Severity: normal
This way you can see, how poorly this font performs, when it is used for reading circled and Ainu Katakanas: You must have some locale that uses UTF-8 and everything else must be UTF-8-clean. Give this command: uxterm -fa 'VL Gothic' -fs 12 & Then give this command in that (u)xterm: w3m 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana' Scroll down to section telling about circled katakanas and Ainu extension of katakanas. You see nothing but boxes there: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F 32D ㋐ ㋑ ㋒ ㋓ ㋔ ㋕ ㋖ ㋗ ㋘ ㋙ ㋚ ㋛ ㋜ ㋝ ㋞ ㋟ 32E ㋠ ㋡ ㋢ ㋣ ㋤ ㋥ ㋦ ㋧ ㋨ ㋩ ㋪ ㋫ ㋬ ㋭ ㋮ ㋯ 32F ㋰ ㋱ ㋲ ㋳ ㋴ ㋵ ㋶ ㋷ ㋸ ㋹ ㋺ ㋻ ㋼ ㋽ ㋾ ㇰㇱㇲㇳㇴㇵㇶㇷㇸㇹㇺㇻㇼㇽㇾㇿ In addition this is missing: ヿ U+30FF KATAKANA DIGRAPH KOTO -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (1100, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (500, 'proposed-updates'), (101, 'testing'), (99, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.utf8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages ttf-vlgothic depends on: ii defoma 0.11.10-0.2 Debian Font Manager -- automatic f ttf-vlgothic recommends no packages.
