Bug Description

Binary package hint: software-center

Ubuntu Software Center 1.1.15, Ubuntu Lucid

1. Search for "ttf japanese" (or, once it is implemented, search in the "Fonts" department for "japanese").

What you see:

    ttf-kiloji
    Japanese TrueType font like longhand made by "kilo"

    ttf-sazanami-gothic
    Sazanami Gothic Japanese TrueType font

    ttf-sazanami-mincho
    Sazanami Mincho Japanese TrueType font
    ...

What you should see:

    Japanese TrueType font like longhand made by "kilo"
    ttf-kiloji

    Sazanami Gothic Japanese TrueType font
    ttf-sazanami-gothic

    Sazanami Mincho Japanese TrueType font
    ttf-sazanami-mincho
    ...

The same problem occurs on the software item screen for any of the packages, but fixing it in the listing should fix it on the software item screen automatically.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Title>: "The title should be the application Name, if there is one; otherwise the package synopsis (the first line of the Description field)."
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Summary>: "The summary should be the application Comment, if there is one; otherwise the package synopsis, if the application has a Name but not a Comment; otherwise the package name..."

Unfortunately fixing this didn't fix the software item screen automatically. Reported bug 537436 for that.
