Bug Description
Binary package hint: dictd
It seems that dictd in jaunty messes up International Phonetic Alphabet(IPA) characters.
To reproduce:
1) install mueller7-dict
2) /etc/init.d/dictd start
4) run uxterm with font which has IPA characters, e.g. DeJaVu Sans Mono
3) dict revolution
Look at the phonetic transcription between "[ ]" аfter "revolution". It's messed up.
IPA characters should look like they look in the attached files file_ubuntu.png or dictd_lenny.png
Additional information:
I don't think that there is a problem with my fonts or client. I can see the text from the dictd database file with all the IPA characters in the same terminal(uxterm) with the same font (DeJaVu Sans Mono). Also I see the proper IPA (in the same terminal under jaunty) running lenny's dictd through chroot from jaunty. I tried to use --locale=
file_ubuntu.png - that's what I see in the data file - the IPA look ok,
dictd_ubuntu.png - that's what I see with dict using ubuntu's dictd - the IPA messed up,
dictd_lenny.png - that's what I see with dict using lenny's dictd - the IPA look ok.
To make sure that this problem belongs to dictd:
1)
uxterm -fa "DeJaVu Sans Mono"
telnet localhost 2628
DEFINE * revolution
The IPA characters are messed up.
2) dictd/mueller7. dict.dz
uxterm -fa "DeJaVu Sans Mono"
zless +/^revolution /usr/share/
The IPA characters are ok.
