GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 272668
Calendar Printing should use gnome_print_pango_layout
Last modified: 2013-09-10 14:04:26 UTC
Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you are doing. Description of Problem: Currently calendar printing uses the old gnome_print_show API for rendering text; this is broken from an i18n standpoint. I'm tracking this downstream here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138075 and I have a patch. Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Import this file: http://ical.mac.com/ical/Japanese32Holidays.ics 2. Try to print it Actual Results: Printing with non-Roman characters appearing Expected Results: All of the kanji characters appear as hollow boxes. How often does this happen? Additional Information:
Created attachment 44801 [details] [review] Initial version of patch for calendar printing
Created attachment 44827 [details] [review] Simplified, updated version of patch, requireing libgnomeprint >= 2.7.0
adding patch keyword
Marking first patch obsoleted by the second one.
still has not been committed to evo cvs; retargetting to 2.5. this is not an enhancement as dave states that characters appear as "hollow boxes".
definitely a 2.7 issue. raising priority as this bites international users.
The patch looks good. This has been taken into stable as well as cvs HEAD. The problem of the UTF8 characters not appearing in the print preview still appears. Dave, what is the version of pango which needs to be used ?
I think Bug 355766 – "Multi-lang text in Body is not printed when composing in ASCII mode" can help as per comment 7
Closing this as OBSOLETE since we don't use GnomePrint anymore.
