Description Swee Tuck Woo 2007-07-20 06:32:30 UTC 
Version:           k3b 0.12.17 (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

Unicode in Chinese characters are displayed as squares instead of the corresponding Chinese characters.

It is a problem related to KDE because all Chinese characters are displayed correctly under GNOME environment.

However, when using k3b under gnome, it looks to KDE for Chines characters & it failed to recognise them.

The problem seemed to be also link to the KDE distributed by Fedora. 

This problem does not surface in Fedora 6 until a recent live update. Fedora 7 however was hit with this problem from day 1. 

This bug has been reported many times since Fedora 5, 6 & 7 & it was never fixed.

It is very disappointing that such bugs are repeated observed time & again without a proper fix once & for all.

Is this a case of KDE compiled without unicode support? Or the unicode translation was messed up in KDE?

If you just run KDE, does it display correctly there? 

This could be related to:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162284
in which case it isn't just Fedora.

So is it just simplified Chinese, or is it all Chinese? And actually, if you run kde4, do you still have a problem?

Thanks!

KDE 3.5.x is long gone.
