'Square' visible in dialog while properly displayed in the document itself.

In ALL dialoges asian characters are displayed as 'square'.

Definition of 'dialoges': All opened options/settings/datahandler etc.

Screenshots give a clear picture of how 'square' show in dialogs, while being properly displayed as they should be in the document. Screenshots are of Calc, but this issue is suit-wide (Writer/Base/Calc/Impress...etc).

Got same issue on multiple systems, Windows & Linux dists/versions.

Screenshot themselves are taken in Ubuntu 14.04LTS AMD-64 & LibreOffice 4.4.1.2, however experienced the issue since OOo.

For Ubuntu, installing the package ttf-wqy-zenhei resolved the issue for me. Not sure what the equivalent for Windows would be, but we have users in China, so I presume that whatever fonts are installed there by default are sufficient.

No issue observed on OSX.

On Ubuntu, I did already have ttf-wqy-microhei (WenQuanYi Micro Hei) installed. Not sure if there's a good reason we couldn't fall back to that, but on the assumption that there isn't, setting to NEW.

Bug 99411 was similar and is now confirmed by the reporter to be working in Ubuntu 16.04. I hope you will test this as well.

I think this bug seems close, after so many years, and no new reporters.

I will close this based on comment 2, with ttf-wqy-zenhei package that need to be installed.

If someone else could retest this, and still repro, please reopen.
