It is possible that you have some font packages installed on your system, that have broken your font cache during upgrade. Try to regenerate your font cache with these instructions: fc-cache -f > /dev/null mkfontscale /usr/share/fonts/TTF mkfontdir /usr/share/fonts/TTF -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич) _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
