Description:
There seems to be a bug in EER Diagram.

When characters (e.g. Japanese) other than ASCII are put in the name property of the layer, nothing is displayed.

It was the same as the note.

Can you confirm it?

How to repeat:
It is not displayed even if it inputs a "table."

Suggested fix:
The inputted text should come to be displayed.

I'm sorry.

[How to repeat]
"table." -> "テーブル"

Thank you for the bug report.

5.0.11 handles layernames like "テーブル" still as reported (not shown on canvas)

I guess this bug is not fixed yet, I am using 5.0.29 on windows now.

This bug is a little more complicated to fix and requires substantial work. We will add support for displaying Unicode text in Workbench 5.2
Sorry for the inconvenience.

we have to move this feature to Workbench 6.0 as this is not a simple change to be made in our current codebase.
this is only a canvas-display-issue, the characters are correctly handled in code import/export as well as the editors.

Related to bug #49832
Setting fonts for layers and notes has been fixed as result of that bug, so it is possible
that japanese text gets correctly displayed in these objects if you set the correct font.

Bug #53413 has been marked as duplicate of this one

fixed for mac/windows in repository. linux fix pending

This depends on the font used containing the proper Unicode characters. In Linux, I used Kochi Gothic 12 and text showed up ok in canvas. With this, I think full blown pango support can wait.

Fix already released.
