User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0 Build ID: 20130326150557 Steps to reproduce: When I want to process a reporting and generate a chart with severity (x field) for example, the generated graph is ok in English. But if I generate it in another language (French in my case), there is an encoding issue. Actual results: The "é" chars for example doesn't show properly but in the web interface it's OK. It looks like the field is not properly encoded before being send to GD library. Expected results: For example, the Severity field in french is called "Severité", but the last char 'é', doesn't looks like how it should (image attached)

For information, I still got the issue on Bugzilla 4.2.5

Hi Andre, Sorry but the issue is not only on 'é', but on all chars with accents (à,é,ï,ç....)

I think you need to install suitable font to the system. (if I correctly remembers)

No I don't. This test works well on the same machine : #!/usr/bin/env perl use strict; use GD::Graph::bars; use GD::Graph::hbars; use GD::Graph::Data; use utf8; use Encode; require 'save.pl'; my $data = GD::Graph::Data->new([ ["1st","2nd","3rd","4th","5th","6th","7th", "8th", "9th"], [ 1, 2, 5, 6, 3, 1.5, 1, 3, 4], ]) or die GD::Graph::Data->error; my @names = qw/sample11 sample11-h/; for my $my_graph (GD::Graph::bars->new, GD::Graph::hbars->new) { my $name = shift @names; print STDERR "Processing $name\n"; my $test_accent = encode('latin1', 'ééé'); $my_graph->set( x_label => 'X Label', y_label => $test_accent, title => 'A Simple Bar Chart', #y_max_value => 8, #y_tick_number => 8, #y_label_skip => 2, #x_labels_vertical => 1, # shadows bar_spacing => 8, shadow_depth => 4, shadowclr => 'dred', transparent => 0, ) or warn $my_graph->error; $my_graph->plot($data) or die $my_graph->error; save_chart($my_graph, $name); }

Confirmed.

Hi, what about a litle hack

(In reply to Sandro Cazzaniga from comment #6) > Hi, what about a litle hack oops, not finished... so a little hack, maybe a function in report.cgi to replace hexadecimal characters of a string?

Hi, I made a fix, I post it in attachment.

Complete fix for graph font

This is the complete fix for all fields of the graph.

(In reply to Sandro Cazzaniga from comment #11) > This is the complete fix for all fields of the graph. This is totally not a fix, since you added configurations of font file itself into core code. I believe we have already discussed (and have an issue within bmo), this is really difficult i18n issue, since we need to deal with system's font handling.

Comment on attachment 777664 [details] [diff] [review] bugzilla-fix-fonts-in-graph-bars_v2.patch As himorin said, we cannot accept this patch as it's really platform-specific. You would need e.g. a new parameter for the admin to type the path to the font.

Fixed in 5.0.
