Subject: evince shows boxes for Japanese characters when ttf-japanese-gothic points to VLgothic

Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 09:16:04 -0700

Package: ttf-vlgothic
Version: 20080908-1
Severity: grave

When I configure VL Gothic use in ttf-japanese-gothic alternatives,
and have fontconfig cache updated, I have boxes in evince.


$ LC_ALL=C sudo update-alternatives --config ttf-japanese-gothic 

There are 3 alternatives which provide `ttf-japanese-gothic'.

  Selection    Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
*         1    /usr/share/fonts/truetype/kochi/kochi-gothic.ttf
          2    /usr/share/fonts/truetype/sazanami/sazanami-gothic.ttf
 +        3    /usr/share/fonts/truetype/vlgothic/VL-Gothic-Regular.ttf

Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 


$ fc-list : file family | grep japanese| iconv -f utf-8 -t euc-jp
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-japanese-gothic: 東風ゴシック,Kochi Gothic
/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-japanese-mincho: さざなみ明朝,Sazanami Mincho
