Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: Fedora RPMs In konsole and other kde applications some problems with certain Chinese characters seems to have crept in when running with LANG=en_US.UTF-8. Using 钉 as an example... In konsole on RHELv4 (konsole 1.4.1) 钉 can only be displayed when the Large or Huge fonts are selected or if certain custom fonts/sizes are selected. Not ideal...but workable. In konsole of Fedora C5 I could not find any combination of settings, short of changing my LANG settings, to display 钉 and other characters. The same holds true for the konsole supplied in SuSE 10. I can't boot that system at the moment so I don't know the versions. FWIW, the application "mlterm" (multilingual terminal) works find under KDE as well as gnome-terminal under both gnome and KDE.
Fixed in Konsole for KDE 4 - this is actually another duplicate of a few other reports.
