Description Robert Margulski 2008-10-13 00:46:34 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
If the image size in the task bar is "50%"
then it displays as "502005%", with the "2005" smaller and in a box.
Likewise any other percent has "2005"%, again "2005" smaller in a box?

Steps to reproduce:
1. Display an image
2. Look at the bottom display status bar
3. 


Actual results:
The display status bar has percent wrong
"100 %" is displayed as "1002005%" with "2005" small and in a box.

Expected results:
"50 %" should be displayed "50 %"
"200 %" should be displayed "200 %"

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
should be in some \app\display module
my C code is rusty but I'm looking

Hi and thanks for the bug report!

Copy and paste what you have as 'Image Title Format' in 'Edit / Preferences / Image Window / Title & Status' please.

This is a known problem caused by your system font. Your font is lacking the glyph for the character U+2005 FOUR-PER-EM SPACE.

I am running Windows XP Pro
I really don't care what my system font is - I use the "default".

Using the defaults shouldn't cause a known problem/
If you can't use the default system font, what font should I use?

Respectfully - Robert
Comment 4 Sven Neumann 2008-10-13 18:31:04 UTC 
Others don't seem to have this problem, so I guess you are not using the default.

Anyway, I think we can declare this as a Pango problem. The font renderer on Win32 could substitute a normal space character if the font doesn't provide a condensed space. Let's see what Behdad thinks about this...

Lets dupe this to the oldest open pango bug then.
