I came across this bug while searching for something else, and I thought I'd try and add a little insight:
To me it looks like a tag decoding library issue, or badly encoded tag in the first place, and not anything to do with fonts. I have the same album shown in the screenshot, and the artist in question is 菅野よう子. The first two characters in boxes on the screenshot are U+FFC5 and U+FFCE. However, the real characters are U+83C5 and U+91CE. Little ネ obviously doesn't belong there either, but what's puzzling to me is how it's even getting the last two characters *right*... :) Perhaps if the OP could do some tests with other file formats with correctly encoded tags. I personally have had no end of problems with MP3 + Japanese. I don't know the technical details, but it appears to me that ID3 has no text encoding indicator, and it's left to the application to guess. Regardless, I don't really think this belongs in fontconfig... -- Banshee handles poorly Unicode japanese tags https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/49189 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
