Note that these aren't strange UNICODE characters but capital Latin letters A,B,C,D,... and digits. To determine which font to use we use the gtk libary function gtk_settings_get_for_screen and only if that doesn't include a gtk-font-name do we fall back to "sans 10". Of course that should really never happen.
Apparently (a) your gtk settings have no font set (or it has a font set that doesn't exist on your system), and (b) Pango is unable to translate "sans 10" into an existing font on your system If you go to System->Preferences, font tab, do you have readable fonts in all 5 sections? Specifically you should be looking at the "Application Font" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/799970 Title: Missing unicode characters To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnumeric/+bug/799970/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
