Title: all spaces show as squares on remote gui
Post by: dk44 on July 01, 2005, 07:18:31 PM

I've just installed aMule on my Suse 9.2 server.
When I start aMule remotely using exceed, the display comes up ok but all spaces show as squares making the text unreadable.
Anyone have a clue what could be causing this? Is it a xfont problem?

hui

thats definetly either the font, or unicode problem, you probably dont run the english version right?

what language did you run and with what options did you compile wxGTK2-.6 ?

I definitley run the english version - don't speak any other language!
I didn't compile GTK igust added the following rpm
wxGTK-2.6.0-1.i686-SuSE_9.2-9.3.rpm

what if you disable UTF-8 support (somewhere under yast)?

YAST -> system -> language

then click on details and uncheck "UTF-8"

u'll have propably to reboot your pc after that.

cheers

stefanero and deltaHF ......you're stars!!

Thanks guys that fixed it!

What are the implications of leaving the UTF-8 box unchecked?
