https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=646192#c0 Summary: Passing strings with accents to Mono.Cairo.Context.ShowText() causes all subsequent drawing on the context to not render. Classification: Mono Product: Mono: Class Libraries Version: 2.8.x Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Mono.Cairo AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] QAContact: [email protected] Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/7.0.544.0 Safari/534.10 The documentation says that the method requires a utf8 string and it's declared [DllImport(cairo)] internal static extern void cairo_show_text(IntPtr cr, string utf8); But as I understand it strings in .Net are always supposed to be utf16 so there needs to be a conversion between what is passed in .Net and what is then passed to Cairo using Encoding.UTF8. The symptom is that if strings with accents or guillemets are passed then no subsequent drawing operations render anything to the context. The workaround is to strip accents and replace characters that it doesn't like before passing them to ShowText. Tested on Windows with Mono 2.6.4 and 2.8. Probably the same thing affects the other methods that (On Ubuntu with 2.4 and 2.6 there is no problem.) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. draw something on the context, it renders. 2. context.ShowText("é"), it doesn't render. 3. draw anything else, it doesn't render. Expected Results: As - on Linux everything is rendered, accents and all. I am running the binaries built on Ubuntu on Windows XP with .Net 3.5 SP1 with the rest of the Mono and Gtk# dlls from the Mono 2.8 Windows distribution. Everything works find except this one aspect. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
