I would like to reopen this bug. I am not sure about the process for doing so, so forgive me if I'm not doing this right.
I am using Ubuntu 11.04, ibus/anthy. However, I also experienced this problem in Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 10.10, and also in UIM/Anthy. It has come and gone, sometimes by replacing fonts, but it comes back, and I hope something can be done to create a permanent solution. When viewing or entering Japanese, I sometimes see archaic or incorrect kanji. the clearest example is 社. You may see the correct character there, but viewed on my system, the radical to the left is "shimesu" (示), not "nehen" (礻) as it should be. I have attached a screenshot. The larger kanji (which is an image) is correct, the one in the small blue box, which should be the same, is the old/archaic/incorrect form. This has been reported before, as above, and in the following places: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1487447 http://lists.tlug.jp/ML/1012/msg00044.html However, none of the suggested fixes have rectified the problem. I have attempted to reinstall fonts and remove any Chinese fonts as suggested. However, the problem returns. It exists in at least FireFox and LibreOffice. I have some known working fonts, so if, for example, I am working in LibreOffice and switch to a font known to work, then I can ensure I see the correct kanji. However, if I go to web sites or open documents that are created by other people, then I can not as easily ensure control over fonts and be confident I am getting the right kanji. In any case, this shouldn't be something I should have to manually monitor. Having installed Japanese support on my system, the default behaviour for all relevant character handling should be to show me the correct characters.
