[New-bugs-announce] [issue6109] IDLE rendering issue with oriental characters on OSX

[Ronald Oussoren]

New submission from Ronald Oussoren <ronaldoussoren at mac.com>:

IDLE has problems rendering some oriental characters on OSX.

One way to reproduce this:

* Start IDLE
* Open the "Preferences..." menu
* Scroll down in the list of fonts until you reach the 'Osaka' font

The font just below the Osaka font has a number of oriental characters 
in its name. Some of those characters are rendered as squares instead of 
the correct character.

The same problem crops up when you print oriental characters. I started 
looking into this because a user on the pythonmac-sig asked a question 
about this. I have a file that demonstrates the problem when you open 
it, but don't know yet if I can post that to the tracker.
