Bug Description
Hi,
This bug is related to #149348.
https:/
I already reported to KDE/KWrite, but was told to report here instead.

Here is my issue:
Description:
Opened: 2008-10-12 10:09 Last Changed: 2008-10-13 21:08:56
Version: 4.5.9 (using 3.5.9, Kubuntu (hardy) 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.1)
Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-19-generic
Hi, When I use the font 'Monospace', the kanji (絵) is missing. It draws as a square with black border and transparent fill -- a generic missing character image.
See the Wiktionary page here: http://
I noticed I can see it inside my Firefox browser, but the app title (drawn by KDE libs) draws the kanji as a square when you open the Wiki page above.
Try to copy and paste the kanji into KWrite to replicate.
I cannot find another fixed width font that has this kanji. I only know courier, and it doesn't work there either.
This bug report may appear misdirected, but I don't know how to file a bug for a font missing a character. Apologies in advance!
Otherwise, KWrite and KDE is dandy. Thanks for your hard work. I appreciate it!
Kind regards,
Kevin Connor Arpe

As you note, this is most likely not a kwrite bug, nor even a KDE bug, and further may be no bug at all. I suggest taking this to your distribution's support forums; most likely, you are simply missing a font that provides kanji, or possibly fontconfig is misconfigured. Your distro will be better able to guide you to ascertaining if there is truly a bug. Worth mentioning is that I am able to see/use 絵 (and indeed, many other kanji) in kwrite without trouble.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
