Bug ID: 371687 Summary: Unicode characters appear cut off and mess up text height for rest of line Product: konsole Version: 15.12.3 Platform: Other URL: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/318909/how-do- i-fix-this-text-rendering-issue-in-konsole OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: font Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org Reporter: flarn2...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0 Build Identifier: 15.12.3 Whenever Konsole needs to use Unicode characters that are a different height from the rest of the text (generally because they aren't available in the selected font, so it needs to get them from a different one) they don't appear correctly. Instead of being resized to fit in the line, the characters are simply cropped, so part of it isn't visible. The line height also isn't reset, so the rest of the line (even normal characters) is offset and doesn't line up vertically with the beginning of the line. This can lead to these characters being cut off as well. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure Konsole's encoding is set to UTF-8. 2. Type 'uudecode' at the shell prompt in Konsole and press Enter. 3. Copy and paste the following text into Konsole, starting with (and including) the "begin" line and ending with (and including) "end". begin 664 /dev/stdout M"@H)54Y)0T]$12`]/3T]/3X@XX.]X+R\X+J(V83-G."ZB."\O>^^B2`\/3T] -/3T@54Y)0T]$10H*"@`` ` end 4. Press Enter if necessary. 5. Note how the characters are cut off, and how the beginning and end of the line are not lined up. Actual Results: https://i.stack.imgur.com/GkZdn.png (the very bottom of the image) Expected Results: https://i.stack.imgur.com/ba35f.png (the very bottom of the image) This image is from gnome-terminal, which displays text correctly. Turning off bi-directional text rendering makes the remainder of the line shift up instead of down. The font used in the example images (also the font I use regularly) is "PxPlus IBM VGA8", available from the following URL: http://int10h.org/oldschool-pc-fonts/fontlist/ -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
