[Pkg-fonts-devel] Bug#495346: Some typographic symbols are missing
Package: ttf-vlgothic
Version: 20080624-1
Severity: normal
This way you can see, how poorly this font performs, when it is used
for reading some typographical symbols of japanese language:
You must have some locale that uses UTF-8 and everything else must be
UTF-8-clean. Give this command:
uxterm -fa 'VL Gothic' -fs 12 &
Make that terminal-emulator fullscreen. Then give this command in that
(u)xterm:
w3m 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_typographic_symbols'
When you scroll down, you see some boxes instead of real symbols. Here
is a list of them:
〱 U+3031 VERTICAL KANA REPEAT MARK
