I found the example strings in: https://github.com/GNOME/pango/blob/master/pango/pango-language-sample- table.h
and the string selection here: https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-font- viewer/blob/827b338762d45535718be637a838a75f8c218f7d/src/sushi-font- widget.c#L315 This means that it should be possible to manipulate the language though environment variables, but I've been unsuccessful in doing so because of my lack of knowledge. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-font-viewer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385335 Title: gnome-font-viewer default text not visible in all fonts Status in GNOME Font Viewer: New Status in gnome-font-viewer package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center At this moment, gnome-font-viewer uses "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" as the sample text for all fonts. This however is an awful implementation for CJK-oriented fonts, because for these fonts, what the user would like to see are the Chinese characters/Japanese kanas/Korean hanguls part of the content, not Roman alphabets. In some CJK fonts that have their contents exclusively on Chinese characters/Japanese kanas/Korean hanguls, "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" sample text simply appears as a bunch of black blocks (see attached picture). This is nowhere helpful for the user to preview the font's content.
