Description of problem:
If I run KDE apps in Japanese locale on GNOME,
their text is poorly displayed with the font
looking double-spaced.
How reproducible:
every time
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to GNOME
2. LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 kate
Actual results:
Default application text appears double-spaced.
Expected results:
Same as for English etc (no langpack installed).
Additional info:
Also seems true for F11.  I haven't tested under KDE.

...
(no langpack installed).
This seems irrelevant - even with kde-l10n-Japanese installed
still happens for ascii text.

I cannot reproduce this issue on F11. it seems your local fontconfig setting
causes the problem. Could you please try with a fresh new user?

I can reproduce with a fresh user in rawhide in KDE too,
with ipa-*gothic-fonts installed.
--- Additional comment from petersen@redhat.com on 2009-08-24 08:13:37 EDT ---
Actually only with IPAPGothic
--- Additional comment from jreznik@redhat.com on 2009-08-24 08:53:57 EDT ---
Ok,
I can reproduce it with IPA gothic fonts installed.
--- Additional comment from petersen@redhat.com on 2009-09-14 20:03:22 EDT ---
Still see this with current rawhide.
--- Additional comment from tagoh@redhat.com on 2009-09-15 01:46:13 EDT ---
I'm asking upstream this issue and waiting for a reply.
--- Additional comment from petersen@redhat.com on 2009-09-29 01:34:55 EDT ---
Tomorrow's rawhide should revert to vlgothic which help with this.
--- Additional comment from tagoh@redhat.com on 2009-09-29 05:05:31 EDT ---
This issue has been forwarded to "upstream" and there are no way of fixing that
in house (apparently fontforge is a bit buggy), I'll leave this to upstream and
visit again when they have a new release in the future.
