Hi all,
when I play around with Desktop > Preferences > Font in Gnome, I get
some strange behaviour.
Many fonts I select come up with strange characters for tabs, followed
by the real tab space. For example
<-- here I see a funny character, then the "<" about 2cm away.
The funny character can be:
courier light dotted square
courier-new square
terminal filled in rectangle
lucida-typewriter light dotted square
I also saw an 'a' for one font.
This isn't just fixed with fonts either. I have a whole host of fonts
installed, and for some I see the character, some I don't.
But then some, like courier 10 Pitch, appear fine.
I checked my xorg logs, and I can't see any helpful messages - no font
issues at least.
What now? This is a bit ugly and annoying obviously! What can I look
at next to see where the problem is coming from?
TIA,
