Description:
libXft has some problems when displaying the font "Wingdings" from M$ Windows. All the characters in the font "Wingdings" are displayed as a little square. When I used the program "xfd" in xorg-xfd to inspect on the font, "xfd" didn't response correctly and CPU usage is very high. This bug also affects other programs like conky, Font Viewer in Gnome(Font Viewer in Gnome can not display the characters in Wingdings correctly), WPS For Linux and so on. Additional info: * package version(s) libxft 2.3.1-1 xorg-xfd 1.1.1-1 Steps to reproduce: 1.Install the font file "Wingdings" from the attachment 2.Use "fc-list | grep Wingdings" to see whether it is installed correctly 3.Run "xfd -fa Wingdings" 4.All the characters are little squares 5.Press the button "Next" 6.xfd doesn't response. [you can use other tools to see bugs] 1.In conky,add the following line to .conkyrc "${font Wingdings:size=16}I" 2.See the conky display on desktop 3.You will find that it is a square but not a normal character. [LibreOffice can display that font] Goto LibreOffice, choose the font as "Wingdings", type "ABCDEFG", you will see the characters stored in this font. |
