 Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2025 11:59 pm Post subject: [SOLDVED] Display Japanese in Libreoffice and other QT apps. |
 |
|
I have been using Libreoffice on Xfce for many years to display and write Japanese documents.
Libreoffice 24.2.7.2 does not display Japanese characters anymore. Both old and new documents are affected. Previous versions 7.xxxx where OK. This is happened on 3 different systems.
I am using app-i18n/ibus app-i18n/ibus-anthy for input. This seems to work because characters after conversion are displayed ad boxes. 30 different Japanese fonts are installed.
Libreoffice -> Languages and Locals -> General -> Asian (ticked) -> Japanese is and was always set.
I also can NOT enter and display Japanese characters in qBittorrent, VLC, Virtualbox.
I can enter and display Japanese characters in Xfce Terminal, Mousepad, Firefox, Thunderbird, Thunar, Gedit, Filezilla, Codeblocks. Not possible in qBittorrent, VLC, Virtualbox.

Appears to have something to do with Qt5 or Qt6?

Maybe you want to give fcitx5 a try... works for me on my laptop running kde, all i have to do is press ctrl+space and it lets me switch between en/jp, and it works on every wayland/xorg app that I've tested... even those pesky electron apps that have had long issues with input methods...
Cheers

fcitx5 (requires tons of KDE stuff) and mozc did not work.
The solution was:
Totally wipe ibus, ibus-anthy, libreoffice and their config and cache files.
Poweroff
emerge --depclean
emerge --sync
Poweroff and install, configure and test ibus-anthy.
Poweroff and then install, configure and test libreoffice-25.2.1.2.
Poweroff and restart.
Result:
I can now type and view Japanese characters in new documents. Old documents show only boxes. The fonts used are installed but not recognized.
I believe the cause was the changes related to split-usr to combined usr profile.
This is another problem and subject to a different post.
