Version: 1.2 Beta21.2 Beta21.2 Beta2 (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-pre5aa2 Hi, the konsole's 'Linux' font is severly broken, it doesn't display graphical symbols properly. This bug is similar if not the same as 'bugnr:45250'. also repainting the konsole doesn't work very well. ie. if i try to view binary file with mcedit then return back to mc, there's garbage all over the screen. maybe this is related to the broken font displaying. snapshot: http://www.penguin.cz/~spitalnik/other/kde/konsole-fnt.png cheers, spity
fresh cvs compile solved the problem
This bug is back! I just downloaded and installed the latest version of RedHat 8.0 (including KDE 3.0.3, Qt 3.0.5, and Konsole 1.1.3). Whenever the non-custom Konsole font is selected (ie "Normal", "Small", etc.) in the "Settings"-"Font" menu, many characters in the man pages and in the minicom display showup as boxes or other strange characters. Moreover, running "man crontab" not only displays the box characters, it also leaves "screen scat" (bits of formerly displayed characters) all over the screen. Also, I have seen "black rivers" running through my Linux-colors display (white text on black background) with the standard Konsole font. Although using the custom fonts (Courier, Courier 10 Pitch, Lucidatypewriter, Luxi Mono, and Monospace =usually= fixes the screen scat and black river problem (but not always!), only Lucidatypewriter actually displays dash characters as dashes, rather than as boxes. What can I do to resolve this problem on my computer (Dell Inspiron 7500.R500YT, 128 MB SDRAM, 20 GB hard disk - lots of free space for Linux)? It looks like this bug report should probably be reopened... Thanks for your help. -Steve
