Hi, Up to fontconfig 2.2.97 my gnome-terminal (configured to use "Fixed Bold 12") as well as the pure vte application (patched to use this font too) behaved like this: If I started it with LANG=en_US or en_US.UTF-8 or something similar, then it used a character set where special Hungarian letters (such as "ő": o with double acute, U+0151) had a completely different look than o, ó, and ö (which are part of Latin-1 as opposed to the double acute version). But if I launched it with LANG=hu_HU (which is a Latin-2 locale) or LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8 then it chose a completely different font where the special Hungarian letters had the same design as other characters. After all, I was perfectly happy with this. Beginning with 2.2.98, even up to the current 2.3.94, the situation is different. If I start these applications with LANG=hu (which is not a valid locale according to glibc) then I get the same charset as I did before for Hungarian, it looks okay. However, if I have LANG=hu_HU or LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8 (or LANG=hu.UTF-8, which isn't valid either), then it uses the same font as in the en_US case, which is terribly ugly for Hungarian characters. So I have a feeling that somehow newer fontconfigs fail to match the "hu_HU" or "hu_HU.UTF-8" locale against the "hu" orthograpy rules. Is it possible, or do I miss something else? I haven't yet been able to track down its reason, but I found that if I copy hu.orth to hu_HU.orth and recompile fontconfig then it behaves in the Good Old way, brings up the font where Hungarian text looks okay. So it finds and applies the "hu-HU" orthograply rules, but doesn't find the "hu" rules, although I guess it should. (PS. in 2.2.9[789] the default config is somehow different, I always get a third charset no matter what my locale is. Hence I always used the config files from <=2.2.96 or >=2.3.0 (this didn't make a difference at all) to get the described behavior, which looks buggy if fontconfig library is >=2.2.97.) -- Egmont _______________________________________________ Fontconfig mailing list Fontconfig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/fontconfig
