           Summary: after selecting a font for view, the "Sample" tab does
                    not load sample text correctly
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 23
         Component: fontmatrix
          Severity: medium

screenshot showing error state

Description of problem:

after selecting a font for view, the "Sample" tab does not load sample text
correctly - font displays correctly, playground works correctly, but sample
text looks like it may be an error message or fragment of code

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

fontmatrix-0.9.99-22.r1218.fc23

How reproducible:

very


Steps to Reproduce:
1. open fontmatrix
2. double click any font
3. "Sample" tab is selected by default and shows incorrect sample text

Actual results:

screenshot included : displays commas, parenthesis, semicolons, etc.


Expected results:

loading a meaningful sample of glyphs used in font, or text configured in
preferences


Additional info:

I believe this was working properly in previous releases, but I am not 100%
certain. The current user id was created as a clean home directory on a new
install of Fedora Workstation 23 - so no settings have been carried over in the
home directory from other distributions or from previous uses of fontmatrix.

current release source from fontmatrix repository (not the source rpm) compiles
and runs correctly.

--- Comment #2 from Parag Nemade <pnemade(a)redhat.com&gt; ---
Can you share what font you selected on which locale? I need this to reproduce
this bug. Also take a screenshot of what sample text is looking for you?

I think font will render the selected language's sample text only when that
font contains glyphs to render that sample text.

E.g. I selected Devanagari language font and sample text Hindi and rendering of
sample text becomes readable. Otherwise you will see only commas, parenthesis
etc...
