Bug ID: 1297374 Summary: after selecting a font for view, the "Sample" tab does not load sample text correctly Product: Fedora Version: 23 Component: fontmatrix Severity: medium Assignee: pnemade@redhat.com Reporter: emily@emilytench.net QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, pnemade@redhat.com
Created attachment 1113570 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1113570&action=edit screenshot showing error state
Description of problem:
after selecting a font for view, the "Sample" tab does not load sample text correctly - font displays correctly, playground works correctly, but sample text looks like it may be an error message or fragment of code
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fontmatrix-0.9.99-22.r1218.fc23
How reproducible:
very
Steps to Reproduce: 1. open fontmatrix 2. double click any font 3. "Sample" tab is selected by default and shows incorrect sample text
Actual results:
screenshot included : displays commas, parenthesis, semicolons, etc.
Expected results:
loading a meaningful sample of glyphs used in font, or text configured in preferences
Additional info:
I believe this was working properly in previous releases, but I am not 100% certain. The current user id was created as a clean home directory on a new install of Fedora Workstation 23 - so no settings have been carried over in the home directory from other distributions or from previous uses of fontmatrix.

--- Comment #1 from Emily Tench emily@emilytench.net --- current release source from fontmatrix repository (not the source rpm) compiles and runs correctly.

--- Comment #2 from Parag Nemade pnemade@redhat.com --- Can you share what font you selected on which locale? I need this to reproduce this bug. Also take a screenshot of what sample text is looking for you?
I think font will render the selected language's sample text only when that font contains glyphs to render that sample text.
E.g. I selected Devanagari language font and sample text Hindi and rendering of sample text becomes readable. Otherwise you will see only commas, parenthesis etc...
