Description KiTaSuMbA 2002-10-27 08:10:45 UTC

The new gnome-terminal is unable to present international fonts which are 
represented by empty spaces. I personally tried with iso-...-7 (modern greek) 
but other users in the forums seem to have the same problem with -2 (slavic). 
Other gnome2 apps (like gedit) work perfectly with these fonts. 

Notably, I had very similar problems with xchat-1.8.10 (built against 
gtk-1.2.10 instead) until I disabled the "use font set" option.

Any clues / suggestions?

this is a known bug in the upsteram Gnome version, gnome-terminal uses zvt which
isn't capable of rendering anything else than ascii.. This will be fixed in
gnome 2.2, or in the alternative zvt-i18n  branches. unfortunately its nothing
we can fi x on our side. :/
