QT and Chinese characters

[Didier Hoarau]

There is a very annoying bug with QT when you are used to display Chinese characters : when a Chinese character does not exists in a font, the character is replaced by a dot.
The only way I have found to solve this is to configure myself the font substitution : http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/kde-font-setup.html

I suppose it is a bug because GTK dont behave like this (it automatically do the font mapping ?)
This is not an ubuntu-specific bug but it would be helpfull to make the font mapping by default or when the Chinese is installed.

Can someone from the Chinese team confirm this bug? Thank you.

I don't know if it makes any difference but I have not chosen Chinese as main language. I have installed Kubuntu in French then I have activated the Chinese support with the language support tool in the application menu.

We have already remap fonts set to Sans ans Sans Serif in fontconfig
for CJK, so this will not happen in kubuntu.
