Description yann 2005-11-13 17:46:39 UTC

Version:           3.4.2 (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Hi,

Devanagari rendering is broken, probably because of incorrect support of virama (U+094D). See screenshot attached. Rendering is correct in other KDE applications.

Thanks,
Yann

Same page with Konqueror

How it should look like: the same page seen with Konqueror.

Screenshot of text as it currently appears in Konsole SVN.

This is the output of catting the contents of the web page using Konsole SVN
(2.0alpha) .  Is this any closer to what it ought to look like?

Comment 5 Bernard Massot 2006-08-17 11:05:34 UTC

Unfortunately it remains totally unreadable as ligatures are never done and some of the script parts that should display at the top or at the bottom are simply dropped.
Just compare it with how it's rendered in konqueror or kedit.

Comment 6 Robert Knight 2006-08-17 13:12:11 UTC

I think this is related to Konsole's inability to properly handle combining characters (http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html#comb) - since every on-screen character is internally represented by a single 16-bit unicode point.  

There is another bug which brings this up as well.

Comment 7 Médéric Boquien 2008-08-16 17:03:39 UTC

Hello. I confirm the bug is still present in KDE 4.1 branch (r847678).

Since #96536(Unicode decomposed text gets garbled in Konsole ) has been fixed recently, maybe the situation in this report will also be improved in git version or 4.8?
