`LANG=C fontforge [FILE]` resolves as workaround.

Odd. I can't reproduce this here on f9 or devel.

What is your LANG env set to normally? 
I have en_US.UTF-8 here and it's working fine.

FYI, according to fontforge contributor, George Willams and Nicolas Spalinger:

As I said, I cannot duplicate the problem, all works fine for me, which
makes Nicolas's suggestion likely.

As far as I can tell there is nothing funny about the Goto dialog and I
can't imagine how input could work other places and not there.

I've added some debugging code to the cvs tree so that I can see what
the input method does to the input stream. If you are interested could
you build fontforge from cvs
  $ CFLAGS="-g -DTESTXIM" ; export CFLAGS
  $ ./configure
  $ make
  $ su
  # make install
And then run fontforge and tell me what is printed (to stdout) when you
try to do the things that don't work.:

It might be some conflicts between SCIM and fontforge, as my sys env is SCIM
started by default.

Ah, I do not have SCIM enabled here at all... that could be the case.

I'm not sure how to fix this here, but perhaps upstream they can come up with a
solution and we can use that in fedora.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10
development cycle.
Changing version to '10'.

More information and reason for this action is here:

--- Comment #8 from Kevin Fenzi   2008-12-16 18:22:45 EDT ---
Caius: Can you confirm it's SCIM causing this issue? 
Also, can you try the 20081215 version I just built in rawhide?

Where should we go from here with this bug?

I've turned SCIM off on F10 and prob still exists. I don't have rawhide on hand
atm so need to prep that before triage.

It worked with SCIM? Or without? Or both?

The problem seems to still exist with latest fontforge in F10
(fontforge-20080828-1.fc10). I have it and it makes fontforge totally unusable.

I build an RPM for myself based on devel, removing the libspiro dependency, and
everything worked fine (with a nicer font for the UI).

Kevin, would you consider pushing the devel version to F10?

> Kevin, would you consider pushing the devel version to F10?

Well, we have talked about doing that in the past, but we need to be very
carefull. 
fontforge is used to build a number of fonts, so we need to make sure the
version we push as an update will work to build all the fonts that use it to
build in F-10. Otherwise they could be in a bad place if they need to update.

Perhaps we could coordinate such a move on the fonts-sig list?

I agree with Kevin: while the problem sounds annoying it is probably safest not
to update the fontforge version unless necessary.  But by all means discuss on
fedora-fonts-list - it would be good to have a firm policy on this.

Font developers can hopefully use the build from rawhide in the meantime until
F11 is released.

Created an attachment (id=329150)
 --> (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=329150)
difference between F10 and F11 requirements of fontforge

There is something weird going on with F-10's fontforge. Maybe it wasn't built
all right or something.

Running "rpm -q -R" on it doesn't even list libuninameslist! Attaching a file
showing dependency differences between the output of rpm -q -R between what I
built on my machine using devel branch of CVS and the latest F-10 rpm.

--- Comment #19 from Kevin Fenzi   2009-01-16 00:19:19 EDT ---
Yeah, the one in rawhide was built with pango/cairo/spiro support. 
That support was not available (Or didn't work) when the f10 fontforge was
built, so that explains a lot of them.

Not sure why libuninameslist isn't in there. :( thats odd. 
Can you see any ill effect from it?

That might be one more reason to try and update f10's fontforge...

I've posted a note to the fonts list to discuss this. 
Perhaps we should close this bug and continue discussion on that list?
