Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
when I play around with Desktop > Preferences > Font in Gnome, I get |
4 |
some strange behaviour. |
5 |
|
6 |
Many fonts I select come up with strange characters for tabs, followed |
7 |
by the real tab space. For example |
8 |
<-- here I see a funny character, then the "<" about 2cm away. |
9 |
|
10 |
The funny character can be: |
11 |
courier light dotted square |
12 |
courier-new square |
13 |
terminal filled in rectangle |
14 |
lucida-typewriter light dotted square |
15 |
|
16 |
I also saw an 'a' for one font. |
17 |
|
18 |
This isn't just fixed with fonts either. I have a whole host of fonts |
19 |
installed, and for some I see the character, some I don't. |
20 |
|
21 |
But then some, like courier 10 Pitch, appear fine. |
22 |
|
23 |
I checked my xorg logs, and I can't see any helpful messages - no font |
24 |
issues at least. |
25 |
|
26 |
What now? This is a bit ugly and annoying obviously! What can I look |
27 |
at next to see where the problem is coming from? |
28 |
|
29 |
TIA, |

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them WHAT to do and they will |

surprise you with their ingenuity. |
