Bug Description
Binary package hint: language-selector
This report is proxy-ed from https:/
In Natty with Japanese locales, fontconfig-voodoo -a does not create
69-language-
Notes: This bug seems reproducical in ko_KR. But zh_CN/zh_TW/zh_HK seems fine.
-------
How to reproduce:
1) Install natty with Japanese language.
2) Open language-selector
(e.g.: Type Alt+F2 and "gnome-
3) exec:
sudo rm /etc/fonts/
4) exec:
sudo fontconfig-voodoo -a
Actual result:
/etc/fonts/
Expected/mavericks result:
/etc/fonts/
Workaround:
exec:
$ sudo fontconfig-voodoo -s ja_JP
-------
Second face of this bug:
This behavior cause some side effects (probably critical for
non-geeky users).
1) Install natty with Japanese language.
2) Open language-selector
(e.g.: Type Alt+F2 and "gnome-
5) in "Language for menus and windows:" list,
set Japanese(日本語) as your non-primary(such as 2nd of list).
6) Push [Apply System-Wide] button, and close language-selector
7) check /etc/fonts/
/etc/
This is expected behavior, but...
8) re-open language-selector
9) in "Language for menus and windows:" list,
set Japanese(日本語) as your primary(top of list).
10) Push [Apply System-Wide] button, and close language-selector
11) check /etc/fonts/
/etc/
So, that erase 69-language-
with language-selector.
-------
Im my grasp, look at affection through the lens of /etc/fonts/conf.d/,
"fontconfig-voodoo -a" same as "fontconfig-voodoo -s ja_JP".
But "fontconfig-voodoo -s ja_JP" works fine, may be something went
wrong in fontconfig-voodoo -a codes.
related configs are:
$ grep 'ja:' /usr/share/
ja:ja_JP
$ cat /var/lib/
ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8
$ cat /var/lib/
ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

This is a regression bug due to the language-selector solution of bug #693337. A fix is proposed to be uploaded to Oneiric (branch linked), and an updated build is available in my PPA (https:/ /launchpad. net/~gunnarhj/ +archive/ misc).
Since the fontconfig-voodoo feature is of high importance to CJK users, while it's partly broken for Japanese and Korean users, I would suggest that the fix is uploaded as a Natty SRU as well.
Thanks for reporting this bug, and sorry for the inconvenience.
