Description Yichao Zhou 2012-07-06 22:17:57 UTC

Actually, there are two problems.  I wrote them in one report.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Set your konsole font to terminus.
run "chmod +x asdfasdf"
Actual Results:  
You will find that character "‘’" does not render correctly.  These character are include in terminus according to the author of this font.

Also this line is below the normal position.

This is the mail I contacted the author of terminus.

Terminus contains U+2010, U+2018 and U+2019; are they accessible
depends on your terminal emulator, locale and shell. For example, a
Xfce Terminal with CP1251 substitues them with 0x2D, 0x91 and 0x92, and
man/bash work fine (though 0xAD would have been better for hyphen).

In general, with full UTF-8 support, these characters are accessible
directly (0xE2 0x80 0x90, 0xE2 0x80 0x98 and 0xE2 0x80 0x99).

Thanks for reporting.

I failed to reproduce the problem (see the screenshot). Could you give more information of your setup and more specific instruction on reproducing the problem ?

Comment 3 Jekyll Wu 2012-08-19 14:16:27 UTC

Please provide more information requested in comment #2. Also, please paste the result of "konsole --version" here so that we know the exact version.

Comment 4 Yichao Zhou 2012-08-21 04:37:04 UTC

Sorry,  Recently I just broke my archlinux so I cannot reproduce it now.  I will send feedback when my environment is ready.

Comment 5 Yichao Zhou 2012-10-02 05:55:51 UTC

I think you should use
       LANG=en_US.UTF-8 chmod +x asdfasdf
instead of LANG=en to reproduce.

Everyone use UTF-8...

But this seems not a bug of konsole.  Even in kate, the font is still render incorrect.  But in application such as leafpad, it renders correctly.  QT of fontconfig problem?

Also, I remeber that in ubuntu, it doesn't has such problem? (Maybe this is wrong)

Comment 6 Yichao Zhou 2013-06-02 05:06:13 UTC

Well, do I provide enough information?  I think now I can reproduce bug on almost every platform.

Comment 7 Dmitry Bigunyak 2016-07-14 17:02:27 UTC

I have exactly the same problem and this is a shame the bug has been ignored for such a long time.
I use KDE-4 (4.14.20), konsole-2.14.2, Qt-4.8.6 on my Gentoo system with locale set to "en_US.UTF-8".
The strange thing is that the problem occurs only in konsole (see attachment konsole-terminus.jpeg) , when I use Terminus font (same size 12) in xterm (xterm-terminus.jpeg) or kate (kate-terminus.jpeg) it looks normal.
There is a related bug report to Qt project as well: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-22599

Comment 11 Dmitry Bigunyak 2016-07-14 18:04:18 UTC

The worst thing is that another bug (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349350) doesn't allow us to choose other good monospace fonts in konsole.

Comment 12 Martin Sandsmark 2016-08-13 16:59:49 UTC

As reported in that Qt bug report it is apparently a Terminus bug (same properties in several files if I understand correctly), but it might get a workaround in Qt if someone gets around to it.

Anyways, not a Konsole bug.
