Hello: Just upgraded from Mandrake 8.2 to Mandrake 9.0 D/L edition. I am starting up in runlevel 5 (X) and all of my GNOME apps, starting from gdm right through to Nautilus, are not displaying any characters on the desktop. The menu entries, the file folders and launchers on my desktop, all of them just show icons without any text.
I have no idea where to start looking to solve this problem. Could it be something wrong between GNOME and the font server (xfs)? Could it be that somehow GNOME has chosen some kind of undisplayable font as its desktop default? If I start up, say, a gnome-term (I was able to guess from just the icon), then the text *inside* the term is okay, it's just the desktop and gdm and nautilus text that is missing. I am not having any such problem with KDE, but GNOME is my desktop of choice. Anyone else have this trouble with GNOME, or is anyone using it successfully?
