Description Andrew Fuller 2007-02-06 00:07:59 UTC
After emerging hkscs-ming, none of the files in /etc/fonts/conf.d/*.conf are updated, so the extra characters aren't used with font families (eg. when browsing the web).

There is a note that says:
 * The font name installed is 'Ming(for ISO10646)'. To add make it 
 * the default Chinese font, you should add entries to your 
 * /etc/fonts/local.conf similar to: 
 * 
 * <alias> 
 * <family>Luxi Sans</family> 
 * <family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family> 
 * <family>Ming(for ISO10646)</family> 
 * <default><family>sans-serif</family></default> 
 * </alias>

1. This is outdated. To get it working I had to modify /etc/fonts/conf.d/65-nonlatin.conf
2. Other fonts seem to do this automatically. I tried finding in the ebuild where this gets done for other fonts, but couldn't figure it out, so this bug report is just "it doesn't work"


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge hkscs-ming
2. browse to a web page containing chinese characters
3. view squares for glyphs contained in hkscs-ming :(

Actual Results:  
Squares are shown.

Expected Results:  
Chinese characters are shown.

It Works For Me, now that I've changed my own 65-nonlatin.conf, but I'm sure others would appreciate having it work out of the box.

This should be done by patching media-libs/fontconfig file?
