If I type the string of (Japanese hiragana) characters あいうえおかきくけこ, "い", "う" and "か" appear as dotted boxes, while the other ones are displayed normally. I'm using 64-bit arch linux.

Hi, this problem was reported for cyrillic symbols ( #43 ). Sadly there is little I can do, the only solution would be to manually draw the missing characters with a program like FontForge. Do this happen with any fonts or only with some of them?

I noticed the same. Only some fonts. Atari 400 and C64 in my testing with German umlauts. The main problem is not that the fonts don't have all characters on earth (that's hardly possible) but that the font substitution is not working properly. If I have to guess, I'd say it's Qt's fault.

@KAMiKAZOW I just checked and you are right. This issue is different from #43 . That one is caused by missing glyphs in the font while this one is probably Qt fault. I just tested your Japanese character on my system and they are actually rendered (with the wrong font but are rendered) can you please post an screenshot documenting it?

Here's what I'm seeing, since the original reporter didn't post a screenshot. I simply copied and pasted into CRT. Default Green profile and fonts in use on OS X 10.9.5.

My apologies for not including a screenshot, on my system I'm seeing exactly the same set of displayed and non-displayed kana as toofishes using both the default Amber and Green profiles. I do notice now that the characters do seem to be displayed correctly on some of the other profiles. For instance in the IBM DOS profile everything seems to display fine.

Completely unrelated to this program, but maybe to the Qt origin of the problem: https://trisquel.info/it/forum/katakana-does-not-show-correctly-qt5
