Description tora3 2006-09-18 09:18:21 UTC
1. Look at the illustration attached.

 2. There are two snapshots in the upper part of the illustration.
    The left one uses a font name "HG 明æœL Sun" in Japanese while the right 
    one uses a font name "HG Minchol Sun" in Western. Both font names 
    are logically same, but those appearances are different.

 3. There is another snapshot in the right bottom of the illustration.
    It uses "Hg Pgothicb Sun" and is rendered in a strange, unacceptable 
    way. It should be rendered at a similar quality as the left upper one.

The phenomenon observed in Writer can also be seen with both Calc and Draw.

hdu: How is this going? How may i help you?
The impact of this issue can be seen here and there of OOo, in a document,
in the online help, and more, and it really drives users mad.

I am attaching another example 69625_Hg-Pgothicb-Sun.* that was taken under 
the following environment: 

Targets:
 http://oootranslation.services.openoffice.org/pub/OpenOffice.org/ooomisc/sdf/OOo_l10n/
 soli/en-US_download/OOo_2.1.0_061101_Solarisx86_install.tar.gz
 soli/ja_download/OOo_2.1.0_061031_Solarisx86_langpack_ja.tar.gz

Environment:
 Platform: Solaris 10 6/06 x86 [1]
 Language: ja_JP.UTF-8
 Desktop:  Sun Java Desktop System (JDS)
 [1]: Only Japanese language support has been installed besides English.

If you need the environment, i will put an image of VMware somewhere.

Workaround taught by hdu:
Disabling retrieval of font names through the interface that 'xlsfonts' uses 
by assigning an environment variable SAL_ENABLE_NATIVE_XFONTS=0 lets this 
problem go away. 
Comment 11 hdu@apache.org 2006-11-24 08:23:08 UTC
The workaround mentioned above will be the default in the near future (when CWS
vcl69 is integrated; for details see issue 62039).
