I did not get the Friends app working anymore on the latest Ubuntu development version (15.04).
I made the attached QML test application that does show the characters correctly. I would assume it's true also for any other Qt application, which would point to the direction of this bug being fixed. If you download the attachment, and install a package called "qml", you should be able to run the app on the command line with "qml testcase.qml". You can even use the key Alt-F2 and type the command in there, if you make sure the testcase.qml is in the Home folder. ** Attachment added: "testcase.qml" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qtdeclarative-opensource-src/+bug/1215686/+attachment/4273404/+files/testcase.qml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to friends-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1215686 Title: Some Chinese characters unreadable Status in friends-app package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in qtdeclarative-opensource-src package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Some characters are unreadable in Twitter and Facebook posts that are written in Chinese.
