hi Behdad you may well be right and the behavior of pango is not logically flawed. Perhaps this problem should be filed as a feature-request rather than a bug. From Chinese user perspective, Latin scripts and the Common scripts are both non-Hanzi or non-CJK characters, therefore, they are expecting a similar look-n-feel when rendering these characters. For other languages, I guess they more or less share the same view: numbers and basic Latin characters (or Basic ASCII, or keyboard characters) are the most frequently used, non-local-language dependent symbols. As long as their local language does not re-define these symbols, they are expected to be rendered with similar styles. I don't know the exact definition of PANGO_SCRIPT_COMMON and PANGO_SCRIPT_LATIN, but I think it is more natural to render the numbers using a Latin font rather than a Chinese font, as numbers and Latins are much closer. Huang Peng provided a patch to get the commonly expected behavior for this situation, if it can be implemented, or under the condition of Chinese locales, that would be a great help. I've seen this report many times on Mandriva, Debian, Redhat's bugzilla and almost all Chinese Linux forums. Back to the original topic of this thread, how do you think the fontconfig file in my last email? I have heard complains at some Chinese forums about font changes due to removing the original fontconfig file. Hope I can get something to commit to cease their complains.
