Bug#740151: debian-edu-install: Traditional Chinese interface shows garbage character
Petter Reinholdtsen p...@hungry.com (2014-08-31): Control: reassign -1 ttf-cjk-compact-udeb Christian Perrier suggested on #debian-boot that I reassign this bug to the ttf-cjk-compact-udeb package, where Yamane-san can have a look. I'm attaching the screen shot to ensure it is available in case the external source go away. Petter, you're supposed to have the maintainer of the package you're reassigning to in copy of your mail, otherwise all we get is: | Processing control commands: | | reassign -1 ttf-cjk-compact-udeb | Bug #740151 [debian-edu-install] debian-edu-install: Traditional Chinese interface shows garbage character | Bug reassigned from package 'debian-edu-install' to 'ttf-cjk-compact-udeb'. | No longer marked as found in versions debian-edu-install/1.720. | Ignoring request to alter fixed versions of bug #740151 to the same values previously set which isn't immensely helpful… Anyway, I tried updating ttf-cjk-compact-udeb against current svn/package translations, and I'm now getting corrupted characters on the first screen after having chosen “Chinese (Traditional)”. The prompt here comes from localechooser (sublevel1) so I'm quite surprised. Especially since there's no differences between testing and sid that could explain a difference here. I'm attaching a screenshot. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Bug#740151: debian-edu-install: Traditional Chinese interface shows garbage character
[Petter Reinholdtsen] We need to figure out exactly which character(s) is missing, and update the installer to include them in its font. I had a look at the image and the debian/po/zh_TW.po, which I believe is the translation file in question, and suspect the problem might be gone when the translation was updated some time in the past. Please let us know if you still see the problem. The problematic translation seem to be 'Workstation', which I suspect is translated to: 工作站 Another line in zh_TW.po look like this: msgstr Debian Edu 工作站(Workstation) Looking at the history, I find this one: msgstr 漫遊工作站(Workstation) It look fairly similar to the failing string in the URL: http://www.goodhorse.idv.tw/files/skolelinux.jpg image. In that case, I suspect '漫' (aka the byte stream 0xE6 0xBC 0xAB in UTF-8) is the problematic character. It is still used in the translation file, but I do not know if it is included in the d-i font now. I'm unable to navigate through the installation my self in Tranditional Chinese, so I need someone that understand the language to verify if the problem exist or not. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Control: found -1 1.720 [Franklin Weng] Shows garbage character See: http://www.goodhorse.idv.tw/files/skolelinux.jpg A square of unicode font missing character. I suspect this is because the d-i font reduction code, briefly discussed on URL: https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/GUIFonts , only take into accout the characters used by translations of the official d-i packages when creating the fonts to use in g-i. If there are any characters only used in debian-edu-install, they will be missing in the reduced font. We need to figure out exactly which character(s) is missing, and update the installer to include them in its font. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
