I did a "# tazlito clean-distro ; tazlito get-flavor core ; tazlito gen-distro", then reinstalled my laptop with the newly created iso. All well until I get around to fixing the new user (copy necessary files to .config, .locale, etc.). When I login using the new user account, I see wierd characters for the desktop icons, lxpanel, menu, etc. However, the right click menu on the desktop is still English, and so is the language for Control Box, etc.
I won't bother with the why, but any help with where I can change the display language would be very useful. The language setting under Control Box, Language is set to en-US. Tested this by creating different users, always the same result.
Can anyone reproduce this? My available traffic yet tiny to gen-distro.
Ms3811, can you right-click on desktop icon (not 'My docs') and open it in text editor? Can you see that weird characters inside? Please, copy-paste that whole line here. But I still haven't thoughts, what is the kind of glitch it may be. Screenshot is a good idea, may be this is not a wrong locale at all.
Thanks, ms3811. Looks like it's not weird symbols, but squares ;) Seems, like you miss using font. Check this: In this example I'm using font Droid Sans 7.
Please, try select one or another font in this combo (don't forget about 'Apply' button)...
No luck? Try to download & install font packages:
in stable:
ttf-bitstream-vera : The ttf bitstream vera fonts.
ttf-dejavu : DejaVu True Type Font (minimum).
ttf-dejavu-extra : DejaVu True Type Font (extra).
xfree86-base-fonts : X window base fonts from the XFree86 project.
in Cooking:
droid-font : Font family from Google's Android project
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, it was an issue with the fonts. For some reason, /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu had permissions for root user only. It wouldn't let me change it either, no errors, just wouldn't change. Don't know what the issue was, but doing a "tazpkg get-install ttf-dejavu --forced" fixed it.
I never faced such situation but i suggest if in such cases at any point of timeusers are able to log into terminal and be able to access irc channel #slitaz , it will be more useful. When i used sidux i was able to get weechat through terminal. singingBird
