Another problem I've noticed that I guess is related is that the
fonts in gsview have become really big and blocky -- there's a
screenshot of this problem at http://gataki.co.uk/gsview.jpg
This is certainly a less irritating problem than the offset text,
but I'd guess solving one would solve the other. It's really
frustrating to not be able to read the text on epplets -- for the
first time since I started using enlightenment a couple of years
ago, I'm seriously considering changing to a different window
manager.
Can anyone offer any help with this at all... please?!
this has nothing to do with enlightenment - it looks like your font
install or setup has changed. enlightenment does NOTHING to try
change your font setup, paths etc. etc. something else has changed
this.
After a lot of trawling the logs for what's changed and a lot of
restarting X to test theories (not to mention a lot of help from my
local LUG), I've worked out what the problem is, so I thought I'd
post in case anyone else has the same issue.
I'd switched my system over to UTF-8 to enable me to use English and
Russian together -- bash doesn't work very well, unless the LC_CTYPE
is set appropriately, understandably. In doing so, enlightenment was
running with LC_CTYPE set to en_GB.UTF-8. Changing the line in my
.xinitrc that starts enlightenment to:
LC_CTYPE=en_GB enlightenment
fixed the problem of the font display. I still think this is a
problem with enlightenment, but I leave people who know more about
these things to make a final decision.
Hope that helps someone else someday anyway...
I have a problem similar to yours, except that I have to select e.g.
LANG=en_GB.utf8 to make things look right.
The BrushedMetal theme uses the lucida font all over, e.g.
"-*-lucida-bold-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1"
However, I don't have that, but I do have:
$ xlsfonts -fn -*-lucida-bold-r-normal-*-*-100-*-*-p-*-*
-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-10-100-75-75-p-66-iso10646-1
-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-10-100-75-75-p-66-iso10646-1
-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-14-100-100-100-p-89-iso10646-1
-b&h-lucida-bold-r-normal-sans-14-100-100-100-p-89-iso10646-1
When I set LANG=en_GB, X wants charset iso8859-1, rejects lucida and
falls back to using "fixed", but when using LANG=en_GB.utf8 X is happy
with lucida.
I guess your lucida font only has the iso8859-1 encoding.
I'm not sure there are any better (simple) solutions to this problem
than to set the locale to match your theme font as you have done, or to
change the theme font to something that matches your locale encoding.
Maybe install the missing font encoding, if possible.
