Bug#432032: libpango1.0-0: Japanese characters rendered invisible

[Mathias Brodala]

Hi again.

Could it be that pango does something like a runtime check to see, if it is
actually necessary to render Japanese (or upper Unicode in general) characters?
(Too speed up rendering for example?)

I’m asking because I discovered something strange today: I’m using the Exaile
music player and obviously have the problem with the invisible characters there,
too. But NOT if I closed it with a playlist containing Japanese characters
(invisible at this time). As soon as I start Exaile after this, I can see all
characters clearly and everywhere.

Closing it again with a cleared playlist or one containing non-Japanese
characters results in them being invisible again next time. This is reproducible
at will.

It would really help to have a logical explanation for this behaviour. Please
forward this message to upstream if necessary/possible.


Regards, Mathias
