Package: xfce4-terminal Version: 0.4.8-1+b1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
Nagari is the script used to write down some indian languages. It is not letter-oriented, but syllabic, so that a given set of characters represents, not a letter, but a syllable with one or more consonants and a vowel. The thing is that, in this script, in-word vowels are written down either on top, or on the bottom, or again to the left or the right of the consonant to which they are attached, and the consonants, when in combination, form a complex sign. I noticed, while trying to type nagari characters on xfce4-terminal, that the above-mentioned complex signs do not show as they should, though some of them are rendered properly. The same problem has already been reported for gnome-terminal and Ubuntu here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/800948 See also (with images) : http://askubuntu.com/questions/8437/is-there-a-good-mono-spaced-font-for-devanagari-script-in-the-terminal It seems it is a specifically terminal-related problem. Even mousepad - which is not, to speak properly, and "advanced" text-editor - is able to render the characters correctly. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (600, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xfce4-terminal depends on: ii exo-utils 0.6.2-5 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.8-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100-1 ii libexo-1-0 0.6.2-5 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.33.12+really2.32.4-3 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.10-2 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libvte9 1:0.28.2-5 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxfce4util4 4.8.2-1 Versions of packages xfce4-terminal recommends: ii dbus-x11 1.6.8-1 xfce4-terminal suggests no packages. -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ Pkg-xfce-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-xfce-devel
