Pango and Android

[Pere Pujal i Carabantes <perepujal gmail com>]

Hi all,

CC gtk-i18n-list gnome org and tuxpaint-devel lists sourceforge net

Background for the Pango devs >>>
This year's GSOC Jianwei Zhang ported Tux Paint to Android, it uses SDL
SDL_Pango Pango for rendering text, you can find the sources and the
Android.mk file used to compile Pango at
https://github.com/perepujal/Tuxpaint-Android/tree/master/jni/pango-1.3
7.1
<<< Background

It performs fine in old(4.0.3) and new(5.0) Androids, however in some
4.3 and 4.4 non ASCII text is messed up.

I found a strange workaround that is to set 

SDLPango_SetLanguage(font->pango_context, "ca") 

in jni/tuxpaint/src/tuxpaint.c
This works for Catalan, Spanish and French, instead setting

SDLPango_SetLanguage(font->pango_context, "es") or "fr"

doesn't work for any language.

Any hints to debug this?

Thanks for any input
Pere
