Hello, I have a problem with some fonts displaying the text as squares instead of the letters. I noticed the problem initially with Gnumeric, but it also appears with xmms playlist display. So I don't think it's a Gnumeric problem, rather than a problem with fonts in X, or how Gnome is handling the fonts. This problem appeared about a month ago when I updated some X and X fonts packages using apt-get (I forget the time and packages exactly, unfortunately).
I am running Debian unstable. XFree86 3.3.6. I don't usually run Gnome, just some Gnome applications from time to time. I have made a screen capture of the problem, it's at http://www.wizzu.com/scratch/gnumeric-window.gif I found a similar problem report on debian-user from Dominique Dumont <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> at Sep 4th. (Archived at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200109/msg00310.html ) But the fix that worked for him (re-arranging the font configuration lines in the XF86Config file) does not work for me. Also, I can't get the fonts show correctly in Gnumeric regardless of the magnification. But it is similar in the for every 2 typed characters I get 1 square. My X configuration for fonts looks like this: FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/" FontPath "unix/:7101" I am not subscribed to debian-user, so please Cc all replies to me as well. I'm at a loss what to do to get fonts showing properly again in Gnumeric, so I'm thankful for any help, ideas or suggestions. Mikko -- // Mikko Hänninen, aka.
