Title:
I wanted to add windows ttf fonts in /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts and
then deleted the (what I thought) duplicate entries.
Tried this reinstall GDM, all *pango* packages, ttf packages, removed
vera*.ttf.
I tried to change the theme this way
In addition to previous post (#19):
I compressed and extracted all contents from whole
/usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts from a computer with a working login screen.
This trick worked ONCE. After that I had the same frustrating login window with
squares. I know how to login, because I did so many
I guess I will report a bug to bugzilla.gnome.org. Just tested
installing XDM and KDM and they don't have the same issue, but I don't
like the changes the make to my system so I won't be using that as a
work around. I guess I'll just disable GDM from automatically starting
in the meantime. Back to

not sure what is going on there seems rather a pango or font issue but I
don't know enough about those to tell, maybe opening a bug on

gdm login fonts are unreadable,
I'm using Lucid Beta1 and I've tried all the above advice and I'm still
getting rectangles [][][][][][][][] instead of letters.
Here is th error message I'm getting:
cat /var/log/gdm/\:0-greeter.log
gdm-simple-greeter[19235]: Pango-WARNING: failed to choose a font, expect ugly
output.
it seems pango has issues finding a suitable font, what ttf-* package
are installed? did you remove or install some compared to the default
installation?

[SOLVED]
Looking better to my log file, I noticed I got the error always related to
Bitstream font.
I removed Vera*.ttf file from my /usr/share/fonts/windows directory and I ran
the commands suggested by Eduard
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libcairo2 libpango1.0-common
sudo fc-cache -fs

[SOLVED]
I do the same, remove unnecessary fonts ex.:mplayerfonts, etc ... , and run:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libcairo2 libpango1.0-common
sudo fc-cache -fs
sudo update-pangox-aliases
And everything is working fine. Thanks.

gdm login fonts are unreadable, display rectangles not chars
Hello there,
I have upgraded yesterday my Ubuntu from 9.04 to 9.10 and I got the same
problem. The gdm screen shows rectangles instead normal characters.
I executed the commands suggested by Eduard but they didn't solve the problem.
Any help is appreciated.
Regards,
Mario

I assume you refer to trying these commands blindly:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libcairo2 libpango1.0-common
sudo fc-cache -fs
sudo update-pangox-aliases
If you first do Ctrl-Alt-F1 you will get an asci console, which you can
probably read. Try the commands from there, you should be prompted for a
I have a similar problem at present there only boxes everywhere there
should be text. Even the terminal window has the boxes. Let me know what
I can provide in the way of info to get your help. I tried the last
commands at the bottom of this post blindly (because of the boxes) and
nothing
The following commands will probably solve your problem.
sudo dpkg-reconfigure libcairo2 libpango1.0-common
sudo fc-cache -fs
sudo update-pangox-aliases
bye,
Eduard
