Ubuntu / Apple :: No Font Displays Correctly?
Jan 31, 2010
I usually can solve problems with ubuntu with a quick search, but I can't figure this one out or anyone else who has this problem! I recently installed Xubuntu on an old eMac PPC using the mini CD. Everything went pretty smoothly, and the distro runs excellently except for the fonts, Abiword, Open office, and much of the notification system refuses to display almost any font. I've tried different window managers (XFCE, IceWM, Openbox, Fluxbox), but all have the same problem. I've tried reinstalling and have the same problem.

I have a white Macbook 7,1 and am running 11.04 beta 1. I have worked out almost everything, sound being the main thing that didn't work. The one thing I don't have working is my brightness control -- my laptop always displays at 100%. I tried installing pommed and the dkms package from the Mactel PPA, but nothing works yet. The wiki hasn't been updated to 7,1 for Maverick, let alone Natty.

Essentially I have found this guide, but it is for miktex, i need a guide for texlive on Debian/Ubuntu which will not pollute dpkg installed texmf.
I'm interested in converting TrueType font to be usable in (pdf)(La)TeX.
All the power google turn up just stuff f relating how to install microsoft fonts or do stuf on MikTeX.
I CANNOT USE XeLaTeX!!! I use pstricks and the font must be available in plain TeX! Otherwise my document looks inconsistent!

Most of my work happens in a terminal, so I need a clear, readable font. I've settled a while ago on Terminus [URL]..., which works wonders for me. I added XTerm*faceName : Terminus in my ~/.Xdefaults, and I do get the Terminus font. Unfortunately, a lot of Unicode glyphs are missing (mathematical symbols, greek and hebrew letters), displaying as little square blocks instead.
If I remove the faceName entry, the default configuration seems able to display most of the glyphs (including math, greek, hebrew, runic, and whatever else), but the default font is much harder to read.
A google search hints that it should be possible to use Terminus as the default font, and fallback to (an)other one(s) for missing glyphs, but provides no further explanation. I've seen documentation that recommends Bitstream Vera Sans as a fallback, but it lacks the glyphs I need too; I don't know how to identify the default font used by xterm either, I had a look at /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, but all I can find are generic references to old pre-fontconfig font names.
Using Gentoo Linux, fontconfig and xterm are up to date, USEs trutype and unicode enabled, X.Org server 1.6.
Edit: I alternate between Ratpoison, Awesome and XMonad, without a desktop environment.

I can't change fonts in Firefox preferences (Content).
My OS is openSUSE 11.3, KDE 4.4.4. release 8.
Any type and size of font I use, nothing happens. It's still same font which I choose for the first time I've started Firefox afer installing openSUSE 11.3.

Actually I want to log a bug but I don't really know what package to log it against. The problem is that by default Pango is choosing the AR PL UMing CN as the font to render Japanese text when the current font doesn't have Japanese glyphs. But AR PL UMing CN is a Chinese font, so Chinese glyphs for kanji characters (e.g., 覚) are displayed. This is jarring and confusing for Japanese readers.
This situation mostly arises when you have mixed English and Japanese text. Some applications (for instance Firefox) will allow you to select a font for Asian text. Thus if the text contains only Asian characters it will use the font you select, rather than what Pango would have selected. But if it is a mix of English and Japanese, you end up with the wrong glyphs.
Other environments (like gnome-terminal, or a gedit) have difficulties as well. Since the primary interface requires mono spaced roman characters you run into difficulty selecting fonts. Most Japanese fonts only have proportional roman characters. This means that if use a nice roman font and use Japanese text (for instance file names), you end up with Chinese glyphs. What I want is a mechanism that will work across all of Gnome for selecting the font I want to use for Chinese characters. That way I can choose either Japanese or Chinese glyphs.
I realize this is low priority. It only bugs me a little, but many of my Japanese colleagues are put off from using Ubuntu because they are confused by the Chinese glyphs that pop up on my screen from time to time. As I said, I'd like to file a bug, but I'm not sure against what package...

In all previous versions of KDE I had Console8x16 set as KDE font for all cases (Settings->Appearance->Fonts). After tonight upgrade, this (only!) font is not working. I can see it in font manager, I can set it in ...Appearance->Fonts, but actually remains default font. Two of about 30 attempts somehow (can not reproduce) succeeded to set "console 12" font, but it disappeared after restart.
1. What can be the problem in 4.4?
2. In /usr/share/fonts tere are 3 files named console8x16.pcf, console8x8.pcf and console9x15.pcf, but in the font list in Appearance->Fonts I can see only 2 - one named "Console" (seems to be 8x16 and "console" (8x8). File 9x15 does not appear at all. Why?
Last results of attempts: cannot use console font in part of areas, while part works OK. For example: kdevelop editor, kmail message body text works OK. But kmail other parts - does not. The most interesting is that although setting the kmail body message text to console displays the message body text correctly (with console font), but the example message in "Configure kmail" dialogue "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog" is displayed in the default font, as if there is no console font!

I am seeing a weird error in a font display. I see a small question mark next to a font that I am using as a simple graphic. Does this mean that some function call in xlib is being passed an invalid paramter?

Neither Ubuntu's Unity or KDE respond to the function keys on a regular Apple USB keyboard. I can plug in a non-Apple keyboard and they work just fine. What needs to be changed or configure so that F1 and company on the Apple keyboard work as on other keyboards?

This morning I bought an Apple wireless keyboard and I got it connected through Blueman. It works like a charm, but I have on problem;
When I log out I can log back in by typing in my password. However, when I restart the computer it seems that bluetooth is not loaded yet and I cannot enter my password. So I have to log in using my wired keyboard, and then disconnect & re-connect to my wireless keyboard using blueman before I am able to use the wireless keyboard.
Is there any way that I can already auto-load bluetooth and connect to my keyboard before I log in?

When I installed Wicd, and ran it for the first time, I got an error something like: "Could not connect to Wicd's dbus session- check the Wicd log file for more info". However, later when I restarted my computer, Wicd started, but I can't connect to my network, it shows up as <hidden>, I can connect to linksys, so I know that wireless is working on that computer. I know that there's nothing wrong with my wireless router, because I can connect to my network in this computer.

I have recently put together a website for my local club using Kompozer, Filezilla, and other open-source apps:
[URL]
Very simple; no CSS or frames, just tables. My question is this: How do I get the webpage to appear uniform on all displays? When I work on it on my own machine all is looking good, everything nice. But when I go to the club and check on one of their boxes or use a computer somewhere else, things are bent out of shape; the layout is too wide or thin, things are oversized or not, the main heading is on two lines instead of one. A real dog's breakfast.
I learn as I go but one thing I'm figuring is that I should scale my images in Gimp to the desired size rather than drag them to size in Kompozer.
I have looked for an answer to this, tried a few things adding various code to the page, but nothing so far seems to be working. I'm sure this is simple fix but I just haven't stumbled over it yet.

I am experiencing difficulty with the screen resolution on my Asus X51L laptop. Currently I am using Lucid and everything works perfectly but when I attempted to dual boot Meerkat the screen went out of sync. I have tried Meerkat both as a live CD and a full install and in both instances the display does not fill the screen. I attach a photo of the display in the hope that it will assist.
When I use the laptop at home I attach it to a 21 inch screen and everything works a treat and strangely enough when working with Meerkat and displaying it on the large screen it will properly display. This only confuses me further. I am due shortly to go for a trip and as the display is not correct am not prepared to show Ubuntu as being improperly displayed to others.

I have removed all the kernels other than 35-25 and 32-28. I want to keep them but even though I can see only those two when I look in Synaptic, when I run update-grub I get two entries for each kernel. I have added the result of update-grub. This makes my grub list really long. Any ideas? Can one of them be custom compilation generated while installing something. May be then it would have exactly the same number but not show on synaptic package manager? How can I check if that is so or not?

When I use a media PC to watch MP4s they generally show up nicely with a scrollable selection of "covers" to select which clip I want to watch (like covers of film DVDs). How is this determined and is there software that allows this to be edited and changed?
I want to edit some video clips and present them in a professional display with the other clips I have. Ideally this would mean I could create a "title page" like a DVD cover

i just installed lucid lynx last weekend (reinstalled it and my w7 os a few times actually after the upgrade from 9.xx to 10.04 went horribly awry).
get my dual monitors working? i have a PNY NVIDIA Quadro FX 380 low profile card which has dual monitor support and am trying to get my dual displays set up but when i go pref>admin>nvidia xserver settings, this gives me the following msg:
Quote:
you do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and restart the X server.
so i opened a terminal and did this:
Quote:
sudo nvidia-xconfig
which tells me:
Quote:
Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'
i then restart ubuntu (that's what i'm supposed to do to"restart the X server", right?) and i get a startup error that wants to put me in low graphics mode, but actually ends up not in low graphics when i start.

Writing this from the windows box since my problem is php pages display blank in any web browser on my kids computer running 10.10. and the forums are php based.All the threads I have seen are from people with a local apache server and php server running. This is just a workstation and nothing server like installed (well not apache or php anyway)so everything I have found tells me to check config files that of course are not there.Anyway since his favorite web game is php based he is currently a bit upset. It did work when I initially installed 10.10 on a full flatten and reload.

After upgrading from 9.04 to 10.04 Conky no longer displays as it used to.I believe it has something to do with own_window_type set to override. If I change this to desktop, dock, or normal it displays.Conky starts without any errors but just does not display anything.
The best lead I had thus far was that it was something in ~/.cache, but even after deleting that and having it recreated still no cigar.

I was wondering if anyone has a solution to my problem: I run Ubuntu 11.04 on my laptop (everything is great) but when I come home I like to connect it to a larger monitor. This will work fine, but presently the only way for me to get that to work is to go into my nVidia settings and reconfigure the displays every time I do this. Is there I can make my system recognize it should change displays as soon as I plug in the monitor?
