Rigo/Fonts Issues with latest updates [Solved]

[Honeyman]

I had the exact same problem on Sabayon 10 XFCE desktop environment (and before that on the MATE version), but fortunately I got it solved. During the update process the 'locale'-settings get screwed up somehow, so we have to change them back to our preferred configuration

Change to the terminal via ALT-CTRL+F2 and become ROOT

Then change 'locale'-settings to the value you prefer. For example to get English-US settings type:

Code: Select all

export LANG=en_US.UTF8
env-update


This defines the language for all 'locale'-configurations, but allows to modify sub-configurations LC_* individually, like using a different standard paper size, e.g.

You can find more information on 'locales' in the Gentoo Wiki http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml.

An externsive description of environment settings for Linux in general is offered by the Ubuntu community here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables#Locale_setting_variables

In order to check what 'locale'-settings are applied type:

Code: Select all

locale

This worked for me,

copied 'equo install x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf x11-libs/gtk+:2 x11-libs/gtk+:3 x11-libs/pango' per dunserfin's suggestion, rebooted and now my computer speaks English!

Thanks! Do I need to mark this as solved?

Hi guys,

today I installed sabayon10 and did a complete update following the guide what to do after a fresh install
http://wiki.sabayon.org/index.php?title ... t_to_do.3F

After the reboot everything just showed rectangles where the normal font should be(that's why I can't provide more information like sceenshots).


TIA

This topic was discussed several times by now. Mate and GNOME users are also effect.
Just one example.

If the problem still remains, just claim

Listen: It happened to me 2 days ago, in an old laptop with sabayon Mate after upgrade.... I reached a terminal, and blindly typed:

Code: Select all

su
equo install x11-libs/pang

then rebooted. And it was fixed.

I just installed my first Sabayon Linux (from an .iso with Version 10 using MATE), booted it up and made a full system upgrade as the system suggested. After that text in newly opened windows was replaced by squares. After rebooting it even looks like this:

What happened here? Maybe I should add that I'm using Sabayon in German.

Edit:
I tried installing x11-libs/pang as described here but it didn't help.

If you look again at that thread you will see that there is more to be installed.

Thank you!
All I had to do was to install x11-libs/gdk-pixbuf x11-libs/gtk+:2 x11-libs/gtk+:3 x11-libs/pango as mentioned in this thread http://forum.sabayon.org/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=28939

Does anyone know why a system upgrade removed them?
