Thanks for the explanation. The SSID I connect to is Cyrillic, the other SSIDs contain probably chinese or japanese (I don't care about those, and I assume that's a font issue). Other European SSIDs (Swedish and Polish special characters) display fine. LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 > The applet checks LANG on the hope that the SSID might be encoded > in that language. My system language is not at all related to the one used in the wireless networks. But I agree, in general it would have been a good guess. > One thing to check; if you run: > > nmcli dev wifi list iface wlan0 > > do the SSIDs print out OK there? nmcli dev wifi list displays the Cyrillic SSIDs perfectly. I didn't know that command. That's a simple way to verify that I'm connected to the correct network. I will use that as a work around, it's better then to count the number of squares.
