Bug 811459 – gnome-extra/gnome-calculator requires additional fonts to display special characters

• Status: UNCONFIRMED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Branko Grubic 2021-09-02 22:24:47 UTC]

Not really sure how to figure out what is really required, but on my system with profile:
default/linux/amd64/17.1/desktop/gnome/systemd

and gnome-base/gnome when I run gnome-calculator if you switch on the headerbar to Advanced of Financial mode, button switch conversion units is not shown properly, on the Financial mode currency symbols as well.

At the moment I don't have screenshots to prove it, since I fixed it by installing media-fonts/fonts-meta but that's not a final solution for this problem. If needed I can remove this meta package and all it pulled in to reproduce this problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. On a system with gnome desktop profile and full gnome desktop installed start gnome-calculator
2. switch to Advanced of Financial mode
3. switch conversion units button or currency symbols missing
