Bug Description

Binary package hint: gucharmap

Using Gutsy's default character table (Gucharmap 1.10.1) lots of characters, even in the default Latin set arent't displayed properly.

See attached screenshot for explanation.

The bug is reproducible, just open the character table and scroll down, or try any other script.

Thank you for your bug report. Please don't confirm your own bugs, that's likely not a gucharmap bug but rather due to missing glyphes in the fonts installed or something similar

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 is this still an issue for you? Thanks in advance.

The problem is still there. "There hasn't been any activity in it recently" because nobody asked for more information (and IMHO more information isn't really necessary, since anybody can reproduce the bug). The bug description is complete, and the bug can be easily reproduced by any developer willing to look at it.

Did you try it yourself (on Gutsy) before wondering if it is still an issue? It actually isn't an issue _for_ _me_, it's an issue for any Ubuntu Gutsy user that open gucharmap.
If you don't have Ubuntu, it is easy to reproduce the bug by booting a Gutsy Live CD. You can download Ubuntu Live CD at http://releases.ubuntu.com/ - in this case, you can grab the Live CD at http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso

Under Windows, you should be able to burn the iso directly or by using open source programs, but I can't help you because it's not something I really know much. If you don't have a CD recorder, you can request free Ubuntu CD at https://shipit.ubuntu.com/ , but you'll get the newer version.

Thanks.
