[Bug 945461] [NEW] The default font used for Qt4 is broken (regarding cyrillic text)

[Julius Schwartzenberg]

Public bug reported:

Since I switched from Ubuntu Lucid to Ubuntu Precise, the fonts in all
my Qt4 applications look significantly worse. Especially cyrillic
characters are not displayed properly. In Ubuntu Lucid everything works
fine.

Cyrillic letters look significantly different, less pronounced than Latin letters.
Some characters are not included and displayed with a square and a cross (the Ukrainian і (capital І) is an example of this).
Konsole in KDE4 is completely unusable when cyrillic characters are displayed.

Expected behavour: the fonts should look good. Cyrillic characters
should not look out of place among Latin characters. In Ubuntu Lucid
everything looks fine. I would suggest reverting the set of default
fonts to the set from Lucid if the issues with the current fonts cannot
be solved.
