Bug ID: 401094 Summary: Malayalam rendering regression in Konsole 18.08 Product: konsole Version: 18.08.1 Platform: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: font Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org Reporter: rajeeshknamb...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 116335 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=116335&action=edit Konsole 17.12 good shaping and rendering SUMMARY Konsole used to have very good support for rendering complex script languages like Malayalam (which has conjunct glyphs and doesn't usually have a monospace font). In Konsole 18.08, rendering is regressed. See attached screenshots from Konsole 17.12 (good rendering) and 18.08 (bad rendering) respectively. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open konsole 2. $echo "എളമക്കര സ്കൂളിൽ" 3. OBSERVED RESULT Conjuncts (which form a single glyph from a combination of more than 2 glyphs) are broken. Also, glyphs are chopped off (e.g. the first character എ). EXPECTED RESULT Glyphs are not chopped off/truncated and conjunct glyphs are formed; similar to screenshot of konsole-17.12 SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: MacOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 29 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: Plasma 5.14.3 KDE Frameworks Version: Frameworks 5.52 Qt Version: 5.11.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
