I would guess that they didn't want to actually
*say* "We have no idea what's
going on here, so let's bat it upstream."
Mmmhh, so you suspect they straight out decided to not give a damn and investigate
further? I hope that's not the case, but who knows...
By Dolphin, I mean the file manager, which wasn't the TDE default, I set it as default
as I find it highly more comfortable to use than Konqueror, I didn't mean the Gamecube
emulator.
I'm not absolutely certain it's affecting Italic text, at least not **only**
Italic, at the moment I just witnessed that it affect a kind of text which seems like
Italic to me; however, I just posted, in my last answer to Thierry, a link to a .tar
archive whose name contains the affected characters, the same goes for the files and
folders inside it, and even one of the text files contains some affected letters inside,
so feel free to check it out and do tests with it.
I never changed any default fonts, let alone remove some of them, only installed noto as
additional fonts after googling around for a solution, didn't install nothing else.
The programs which are giving issues were preinstalled with the system since first boot.
Never installed any additional themes or created settings for QT5/QT6.
