[SOLVED] Bitstream Vera missing characters under Qt

Hey everyone!

I've installed some KDE apps (including the whole KDE on my smaller desktop), and I've met a strange and very annoying glitch. Under every Qt app the letters used in the hungarian language (ő,ű) show up as rectangles when I'm using the Bitstream Vera fonts.

On the other hand, these fonts work fine under GTK2, under gedit for example.

What could be wrong here? Have I missed an option regarding my locale, fonts or something?

BTW, my LANG variable is set to "hu_HU".

Thanks for the help!

Solved it!

The Bitstream fonts don't have ő and ű... I've found fixed fonts here:

After installing them and changing the default fonts in KDE Control Center, amaroK works fine.

Re: [SOLVED] Bitstream Vera missing characters under Qt

You also might wanna look at the DejaVu Fonts:
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

though they address mainly the Chech and Polish language. I dunno if
Hungarian is covered in Iso8859-2? which is I think the target of DejaVu.
