Description of problem: May be related to Bug#815. I installed libreoffice from Mageia 1 and run it under KDE 4.6. My locale is zh_TW.UTF-8. My libreoffice settings was set to use system fonts. However I couldn't see correct Chinese characters with the UI, as in the attachment. After trying, I found that I can see Chinese characters if and only if: 1. libreoffice-kde is installed. 2. I can't use Dejavu Sans as my system fonts under KDE. I changed my fonts to Droid Sans, UMing, ... etc and the Chinese characters were shown. However, installing libreoffice-kde means Bug#815 was there. The UI shows Chinese correctly, but the status bar was all squares. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libreoffice-3.3.2 fonts-ttf-dejavu-2.33 kde-4.6.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install libreoffice-langpack-zh_TW and set the locale to zh_TW.UTF-8 2. remove libreoffice-kde 3. *OR* set fonts to Dejavu Sans

it is the same problem as the already mentioned bug. "DejaVu Sans" as UI font is unsuitable, as it doesn't contain the characters, so it is a fallback problem again. And default fallback is to a bitmap font that only supports fixed sizes. Don't configure DejaVu Sans as font, but a font that actually contains the characters. See the duplicate for other ways to workaround the problem (again the fix is to properly configure the UI font and/or to install proper fontconfig fallbacks) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 815 ***
