RHBA-2011:0314 - qt bug fix update


Synopsis

qt bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated qt packages that fix various bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

Qt is a software toolkit that simplifies the task of writing and maintaining GUI (Graphical User Interface) applications for the X Window System.

This update fixes the following bugs:

  • In the Bengali script, a certain consonant conjunct with a zero-with joiner (that is, the "U+09B0 U+200D U+09CD U+09AF" sequence in Unicode) was not rendered correctly. This error has been fixed, and this conjunct is now rendered as expected. (BZ#562049)

  • In the Bengali script, some character combinations were incorrectly rendered with an extra space between them (for example, the "U+0989 U+09CD U+09AA U+09BE U+09A6 U+09A8 U+09C7 U+09B0" sequence in Unicode). This update ensures that these combinations are correctly rendered with a straight line at the upper part of the text. (BZ#562058)

  • In the Kannada script, the "U+0CB0 U+200D U+0CCD U+0C95" Unicode sequence produced an incorrectly rendered glyph. With this update, the underlying source code has been modified to address this issue, and the above glyph is now rendered properly. (BZ#562060)

  • In the Marathi language, a certain combination of syllables (that is, the "U+0915 U+09EF U+09EF" sequence in Unicode) was not recognized properly. This update resolves this issue, and this combination is now rendered as expected. (BZ#631732)

  • In the Oriya script, some character combinations (such as the "U+0B2C U+0B4D U+0B21" Unicode sequence) were not rendered correctly. With this update, a patch has been applied to address this issue, and such character combinations are now rendered correctly. (BZ#636399)

All users of Qt are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
