GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 221209
Evolution does not render non-roman fonts
Last modified: 2002-03-01 18:26:10 UTC
Description of Problem: No display of characters outside of the basic ASCII set in English locale. Even though the Evolution mailer seems to be able to receive and transmit utf-8 encoded messages, the non-roman characters, including Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Greek, diacriticalized characters, etc. do not display. This is a serious shortcoming if one compares Evolution to competitive mailers such as Outlook, Mozilla, etc. Of course, if I set the X Windowing locale to Japanese, or Chinese, or whatever, I can get proper font support for these languages. But this is something that should also be supported in English locale. Regards, Charles Muller acmuller@gol.com
