This is a quick bug ugly solution.
Forcing Traditional Chinese users to use English typefaces provided by Chinese fonts is NEVER a prolbem, because now the setting refer to WenQenYi Micro Hei which is deverived from Droid, and Droid provides good English typefaces actually. Otherwise, mobliephone manuactures won't adopt droid on their Android phone, right? Furthermore, using the typefaces provided by Chinese fonts gives Traditional Chinese user a better looking appearance with more consistance and harmony. I think people who cares about the artwork and eye candy might agree with me. All in all, this solution is not a solution actually, becuse the prolbem is not caused by fontconfig settings. This solution is a "Enhancement" or "Feature request" actualy, you have missed the point, and the real bugs should always be removed. > 2. Fix poppler-data and all relevant applications so they can honor > fontconfig settings correctly. Yes, that is the real solution! We should file bugs for them to solve all the buggy things! By doing this, there won't be more people suffered by the programs honored fontconfig settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659280 Title: Chinese characters in PDFs without embedded fonts are shown as squares -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
