Comment 2 Simon Budig 2004-11-07 13:14:11 UTC 
The Screenshot shows a placeholder for the unicode character 0x200b, which is
the "Zero width space". Obviously the font doesn't respect that meaning.

Since I have no idea what to do about this I'd suggest blaming this on the font
used and close this bug as NOTGNOME.
Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2004-11-07 13:30:59 UTC 
I don't think the font is to blame here but the Pango shaper. Can we please get
some info on the version of Pango that is being used here?
Comment 4 sangu 2004-11-07 15:06:26 UTC 
sven : pango-1.6.0-7 and GNOME-2.8

Applications font is Myriad Pro SemiExt + New Gulim(Hangul font).

Hangul is Korean alphabet.

Reopening because reporter responded with the requested info -- a long time ago,
actually.  Sorry!
Comment 6 Manish Singh 2004-12-28 01:36:42 UTC 
It is font related. With gulim.ttf (from http://kldp.net/projects/baekmuk/)
installed I get the same thing the reporter sees, but with Arial Unicode MS it
works fine. This is with pango CVS (1.8.x).

Also, when entering U+C2F6 U+200B U+C2F6 into gimp's text tool, I get the pango
missing glyph box in the entry widget, but the rendering on the canvas is fine,
so it's possibly an Xft-only problem.

Simple test program

This is a simple program that shows the screwup with baekmuk. Since this is
reproducible outside of gimp, I'm reassigning to pango.

Comment 9 Owen Taylor 2004-12-28 15:41:41 UTC 
Hangul shaper presumbaly needs the same handling of zero width chars
as the basic shaper (etc.)
