Comment 1 Mike FABIAN 2005-04-22 09:18:21 UTC
The report was opened in the Novell Bugzilla by Stanislav Brabec <sbrabec@suse.de>.  Here is his report:  Stanislav> In SuSE Linux 9.2, if you start LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8 xmms, you can see correct Czech Stanislav> menu. In SuSE Linux 9.3, gtk1 applications don't display strange ecaron Stanislav> character - it uses either different font or uses (' instead, depending on Stanislav> installed fonts. I suspect that this character is missing somewhere, because Stanislav> other Czech characters are OK. Stanislav>  Stanislav> There was no change in code of xmms nor gtk1 nor glib1, so it must be caused by Stanislav> one of underlying library, fonts or locale data files (xorg-x11 or glibc). Stanislav>  Stanislav> I did not find anything suspicious yet. Stanislav>  Stanislav> The problem does not occur in cs_CZ locale, so I guess it's related to fonts Stanislav> from /etc/opt/gnome/gtk/gtkrc.utf8.

This patch fixes the problem for me and Stanislav confirmed 
that it fixes the problem for him as well:

Stanislav: Yes, it fixes this problem in SuSE Linux 9.3. Thanks.
Comment 5 Roland Mainz 2005-04-22 15:09:29 UTC
It would be nice if the change could be merged into the patch for bug 2676 as
both should go into the stable branch, too...
Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2005-04-25 04:01:35 UTC
Indeed, this is a duplicate of Bug #2676.
