ok, thanks for the names. i can look into getting and looking into them more later this week or next week. >> i'm running current unstable versions of gnome, gnome-panel, >> gnome-shell, up to date on graphics drivers, tried different kernels, >> tried creating new user, etc. all same result. >> >> the whole thing is blank other than the letter "m" >> (which is the first letter of the user name "me") but as time goes on >> the clock gets digits as they change. > > (...) > > When that happens, try by restarting gnome-shell (Alt+F2 and type "r"), > I've also experienced the "missing letters" from time to time. this puts me back exactly to the state where the font letters are missing. like right now i am typing this in Gnome Terminal 3.4.0.1-1 and gnome- panel 3.2.1-2+b1 using slrn. the gnome-panel up above is missing the word "Activities" completely, to the right a little it has the icon for the terminal "T m al", the clock in the center shows "7" and the rightmost part says "m". to get it to display correctly i have to again click the accessibility icon (that is not displayed until i hover over it) and clicking "L rg T xt" and then again clicking "Large Text" (to turn it back to normal font). then all is well again. if i knew how to automatically include these steps in the desktop startup i could try that, but i'm not a gnome wizard. thanks for your reply, songbird -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
