[2.2.5-2.2.6|Mac OS 10.6] GUI bug: Invisible CJK text
« on: October 04, 2009, 05:23:10 PM »
Under Snow Leopard any text (e.g. file names) containing CJK characters is not displayed.

File names from my shared files do not display:

Mh, could you please make sure you installed all available asian fonts? Snow Leopard doesn't seem to install them by default.

According to another user, this happens only on Snow Leopard and our/my best guess is currently missing font support.

The Chinese chars are visible at the top of the second screenshot in the "Name:" box so I don't think that can be the problem.

Well, my explanation was that there are different fonts, some with support for CJK, others without.

When I visit for instance google.cn with Opera, only some Chinese characters will be shown - my browser font has incomplete support for CJK text. The same page on Firefox shows all characters, using a different font.

This doesn't explain why everything is not shown when some asian characters are in the file name, but this gives us at least a possible work around.

A missing font cannot be the reason for missing text strings. If this was the problem, the non-CJK characters would be displayed and CJK characters would be replaced by "?"-signs. Besides, Mac OS fully supports the CJK characters. Version 10.6 does not skip or delete fonts.  :)

I agree. I have installed a full SL with all the language packs and additional fonts and the problem remains.
