Font issue in Cinnamon start menu

I was setting up a new laptop and installed a bunch of stuff, I did a reboot but when I logged back in the font of the Cinnamon start menu was messed up. I checked another account, its menu was fine and it had almost everything the same except the Desktop Font in the other account was set to None. In my account it is set to Sans something. Otherwise the differences are non-existent that I'm aware. Anyone see this before?

You can do a font test to see if you can identify corrupted font(s).

You can try different default fonts and temporarily disable website fonts to test the selected default font.

  • Display issue with vertical windows start menu and dual screen

    Hello everyone
    I never reported it and I didn't find any information on google or mozilla support about this so here it is :
    I am on windows 7 and I set up my windows start menu vertically. I also have 2 screens. These both points are important. If I put the start menu horizontally I do not have the issue anymore, and If I turn off one screen to have the display only on one screen, I do not have the issue anymore, which is a rare setup I guess so it could explain why this bug has never been detected.
    HERE IS THE ISSUE
    I have display issues on website with a big width, even the default add-ons Manager firefox page doesn't display correctly. Here is a screen shot:
    http://img15.hostingpics.net/pics/368172bugFirefoxDisplay.png
    So as you can see the disable and remove button on the right are not displayed, and at the bottom there isn't any scroll bar to scroll ! So I have no way to display the information on the right of the page, and it happens on a lot of other website (gmail, etc)
    It is not such a big issue because my start menu is on my left screen and I can move firefox on the right screen to have a correct display.
    I still think this is worth reporting this bug. I hope it is clear, feel free to ask questions if you didn't understand.

    You can try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).

  • WCS11G - Start Menu Items for Admin interface?

    I'm looking into WCS 11G since I need to migrate a 7.5.5 site.
    As it looks now, code or structure won't be modified to better support features such as supporting the contributor interface better so a lot of our users will expect to use the admin interface.
    I am however having an issue enabling simple start menu items for content. I.e. a simple Start Menu Item for a Page, simply will not show up. It shows up just fine in the contributor interface however.
    I've been going through all the documentation, but I cannot see any references to there being any limits on what kind of assets can be presented in the admin interface.
    Is this a bug I'm experiencing? Or simply an approach taken to force users over to the contributor interface?
    Thanks
    /Lars

    By default the Admin UI will not show certain asset types, this is intentional and controlled by the property advancedUI.enableAssetForms in futuretense_xcel.ini. If you set this to true and restart then the Page assets and others will show up. Here's an extract from the Property Files Reference Guide:
    advancedUI.enableAssetForms
    Used to enable and disable the WebCenter Sites
    Admin interface for content contributors. Access
    to the following assets is affected:
    • All flex assets and their parent assets
    • All basic assets
    • Engage assets, such as recommendations,
    segments and promotions
    • Query, Collection, and Page assets
    By default, this property is set to false, which
    disables the WebCenter Sites Admin interface for
    content contributors. The assets listed above
    cannot be created, edited, searched for, or deleted,
    except from the WebCenter Sites Contributor
    interface, where they are supported by default.
    Note: In the Contributor interface, asset types and
    assets intended for developers are either available
    only for inspection or they are inaccessible. They
    must be accessed from the WebCenter Sites
    Admin interface. For a comparison of features in
    the Contributor and Admin interfaces, see the
    WebCenter Sites User’s Guide.
    Default value: false

  • Start Menu Configuration not being saved using BootCamp in Windows 7

    On a couple nearly identical MacBook Pros (ordered and built within the last couple months) I've encountered an issue where my Start Menu configuration is not being saved using BootCamp in Windows 7. Only the 64 bit version was tested, I don't have a 32 bit handy.
    "Stickying" icons on the top of the shortcuts seems to hold, but changing the display to small icons, adding "administrative tools", menu displays from opening folders to showing lists, or even just telling it to not highlight newly installed programs are lost on a reboot. The changes do appear to work at first, but again, are lost on reboot.
    Fwiw I'm using the machine in an Active Directory environment. If you need any additional information or further details just ask.

  • Glitch in Windows 10 about Start Menu when it will not show

    I just installed windows 10 on a vm and when I first installed windows 10, I clicked the
    Start Buttonand the start menu did not show up. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried:
    1. Rebooting
    2. Double clicking the button

    In build 9926, there is no such option as " Use Start Menu instead of Start Screen " anymore.   
    As to your Start Menu not showing up, MS is aware of the issue.
    In fact, Insider Hub has posted Known issues in 9926. One of the known issue is the Start Menu.
    Here is the direct copy...... 
    Start menu
    When you boot Windows 10 Technical Preview, the Start menu may not appear. Checking for updates may fix
    this problem. To check for updates without the Start menu, do the following:
    Select the Internet Explorer icon.
    Type
    http://update.microsoft.com into the address bar and select
    Enter.
    If you are prompted to run a control, click
    Yes.
    This should bring up the Check for updates window. Install updates.
    If no update is available, or the available updates don’t fix the issue, restart the device–this should
    make the Start menu appear. To reboot without using the Start menu:
    Hold down the
    Windows key and select L to lock the device. Swipe up or select
    Enter to open the sign in screen. Select the
    Power icon on the log in screen to restart the computer.
    OR
    Hold down the
    Windows key and select R to bring up a command prompt. In the prompt, type
    shutdown –r to restart.

  • What happen to the Start menu that was promise?

    I was so looking forward to the classic start bottom  but found it was not present in the new Windows 10 Preview
    How is it installed?
    What is going on with the window store? I can never get a connection

    Hi,
    For your first issue of missing Start menu, please check this settings:
    Right click the taskbar and choose Properties.
    Under Start Menu tab, please make sure that the option “Use the start menu installed of Start screen” is checked on:
    For your second issue that Windows store fail to connect to internet, please follow these steps to see what’s going on:
    Method 1: Use Microsoft’s Troubleshooter
    To address this issue, Microsoft has come up with an instant troubleshooter that automatically detects problematic identities and fixes them on the spot. To download this tool,
    visit the address  and follow the wizard accordingly:
    If running the troubleshooter did not help your case, try working through the following solutions.
    Method 2: Disable Proxy Connection
    Proxy server acts as an intermediate between your system and the outside world. This can often mess up the internet routes and block certain accesses. To disable this setting, execute this procedure:
    Open Internet      Explorer
    Click the gears      icon displayed at the top right and choose
    Internet options
    Navigate to Connections      tab
    Open LAN settings
    Uncheck Use a proxy      server for your LAN
    Try accessing the Store again and see if the issue is mended. If it did not, try other alternatives quoted below.
    Method 3: Swap Accounts
    It is sometimes observed that switching back and forth between Local and Microsoft Accounts refreshes any recent account changes and cures the illness.
    Click Windows icon, and choose PC settings.
    Under Users and accounts, click Disconnect Microsoft account or Switch to a local account.
    Then, reconnect the Microsoft account to check the issue
    If this doesn’t help, continue with the journey.
    Method 4: Reset Store Cache
    Imitating your web browser, Microsoft Windows Store stores cache locally on your computer to help the apps load faster. Sometimes, this accumulation becomes a problem resulting in efficiency drop-downs and installation failures. To clear this data, reset
    the cache through the following steps:
    Click Windows Icon, type      wsreset
    Click wsreset show on      the search resuts.
    Wait for the cache to      clear
    Ensure the message The      cache for the Store was cleared. You can now Browse he Store or app
    Enter your Store again and see if the problem is eliminated. If not, there is still much more you can try.
    Method 5: Disable Firewall Settings
    Firewall manages data exchanged between your PC and the network. It is a highly important security tool, but sometimes, it even blocks legal activities hindering your network tasks. Try disabling this program and see if the issue disappears.
    Hope these could be helpful.

  • [Suggestion/Issue] GPO "Start Menu Layout" / PS Export-StartLayout Issue

    To start off with, I have already submitted this to Windows via the Windows Feedback option provided in the client version of Tech Preview.  I have decided to post this on here anyways as this might yield a suggested fix from someone else in the Microsoft
    Community.  I also was unsure if this was a Windows 10 Tech Preview issue (Export-StartLayout is done on the client), or a Server Tech Preview issue as I'm using GPO's.
    When using Export-StartLayout after adding "Network and Sharing Center" and "Devices and Printers" to the start menu, it exports these two tiles with different AppID #'s depending on which user account I'm exporting from.  As a result
    of this, when using the GPO "Start Menu Layout", users do not get the two tiles in question setup, and also locks down the Start Menu so they can't add it.  The lockdown of the Start Menu is by design, however the loss of the tiles presents
    an issue.
    It would be helpfull if they were assigned set AppID's so they can be easily mapped to the Start Menu via the GPO. 

    Hi,
    >> I also was unsure if this was a Windows 10 Tech Preview issue (Export-StartLayout is done on the client), or a Server Tech Preview issue as I'm using GPO's.
    Based on my test, this is not a Windows 10 Tech Preview issue. This situation also happens to Windows 8.1. At this moment, I have to admit that there is no solution known to me for this situation, and thanks for sending a feedback about this
    situation to Microsoft.
    Best regards

  • HT4561 After updating to 10.6.3, I installed the 10.6.8 update just to start experiencing these font issues. HELP! How do I get the fonts to display correctly in my browsers especially (Chrome & Safari)

    After updating to 10.6.3, I installed the 10.6.8 update just to start experiencing these font issues. HELP! How do I get the fonts to display correctly in my browsers especially (Chrome & Safari)

    What I ended up having to do was open up the Font book & remove duplicates. I knew it was Arial that was causing the problem, so I deleted the duplicate of that font. Inadvertantly I deleted all the Arial regular font, so I had to reinstall one copy. That was the solution. Thanks!

  • [Forum FAQ]Start Menu Scroll Issue in Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9926

    Scenario:
    When upgrading to Window 10 Technical Preview Build 9926 from Windows 10 Technical Preview Build 9879, you may notice that on the start menu, when you move mouse to the right side, it won’t scroll until you click it.
    Solution:
    This is because the value of the key DWORD
    MouseWheelRouting which is under
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop values changed to 0 after upgrade.
    Note:
    Before you make changes to a registry key or subkey, we recommend that you export, or make a backup copy, of the key or subkey.
    Press Windows logo key +R to open Run, type
    regedit, and then press Enter to open Registry Editor.
    Navigate to the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.
    On the right side, change the value of the DWORD MouseWheelRouting
    to non-0 and non-1, for example 2, 3, which is set to 1 by default.
    Exit Registry Editor. 
    Sign out and sign back.

    same issue in build 10049.
    It would help to be more specific in the symptom description.  E.g. using Narrator may help.  (Win-Enter).  Does it say what you are "seeing" (or should be seeing)?
    FWIW I think it is relatively easy to reproduce symptoms which are related to this thread's description using Narrator (Start Screen without Search bar, Search bar without Taskbar, or Search bar with Taskbar but without Start Menu
    when the only time that the Search bar should appear is when the Start Menu is there, for example) so that could also help specify what your real symptom is.  BTW there are horrendous delays when using Narrator.

  • ITunes re-installing Start Menu issue

    I have iTunes 7 running on my PC. I start it from a quick launch icon, and the iTunes folder is in the start menu in a sub folder for organizational reasons. Every time I run iTunes it runs through an installer and re-adds a desktop icon, and an iTunes folder in the root of the Start Menu. I have been unable to stop this from occurring. Anyone know of a fix?
    Imac and PC   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   PC Running XPSP2

    I have a Mac and experience problems on it as well, though usually of a different nature from those on my Windows machine.
    However, this issue IS an Apple issue. Of all the Windows programs I have used, only one other had this annoying problem of reinstalling and that was Norton Anti-Virus. I switched programs to another company to solve that problem.
    Fortunately for me, there's a solution here as switching programs is not possible without losing access to my iPod.
    Apple needs to fix this problem ASAP. If they expect me to buy one of the newer iPod models, something I was planning on until now, they need to think more of their users. My iPod is a few years old now and it's time to upgrade to video and photo, but if this is how Apple treats someone, I may be taking Microsoft up on their Zune player. (I wouldn't lose much as everything in my library is playable on Windows Media Player).

  • Windows 10 start menu not working, app settings gone, startup programs not starting (no tray icons) KB3034229 installed

    Hi, even after installing KB3034229 my start menu is gone, search does not work so I don't have any good way to start applications. I am worried because they say update fixes this error, but not for me :-(
    Most of my settings are also gone. I cannot revert back (getting error about moved account, but I did not move my account location after installing technical preview)
    Any help is much appreciated. Thank you!

    Actually, I decided to take a look around in the Event Viewer and saw that there were errors in the "Application" section under windows logs, with the message stating "Activation of app (Insert app name here with a bunch of characters after
    it) failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information." And a more specific error to do with ShellExperienceHost.exe  http://pastebin.com/c62Fm8xz
    . (Cant figure out how to change the font back, so ill stick with this one) All the errors in the Application tab in windows logs that are "Application Errors" all come from the faulting module "Windows.UI.Xaml.dll" After trying to open
    the start menu, an Application error (http://pastebin.com/WVktd0Ti) (Suddenly the font fixed itself, okay.) appeared. This is all on build 10041. The logs in "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" all contain something along the lines of this
    "Activation of the app Microsoft.Cortana_8wekyb3d8bbwe!CortanaUI for the Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The remote procedure call failed.."
    Hopefully this contains useful information to help fix this bug.
    EDIT:
    After looking up the error code from the log in "Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational" (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2798317/) It seems to be a permissions issue maybe? I'll update this if I find a solution.

  • Maverick's Fonts Issue

    The fonts on my Mac Mini running the latest version of Mavericks looks bad  like the needed font is missing.
    I originally had an issue with something that would pop up an alert on my iPad, saying that I needed to install the latest version of Flash because of a security threat. IOS does not support Flash so I knew something was going on. It wanted me to install it through my Box or Dropbox accounts. It kept blocking me from mainstream news sites. I noticed that there was a IOS update available so I installed it. It seemed to take care of this issue on my iPad.
    Later I noticed that there was a strange file in my Mac Mini's Dropbox folder and that the fonts were messed up. I trashed that file.
    I still haven't been able correct the font issue on My Mac Mini. This is after repairing disk permissions, resetting the PRAM, resetting the SMU, reinstalling Mavericks from the Apple server and dumping the finder preferences.
    Any Ideas?

    Back up all data.
    Launch the Font Book application and validate all fonts. You must select the fonts in order to validate them. See the built-in help and this support article for instructions. If Font Book finds any issues, resolve them.
    From the application's menu bar, select
    File ▹ Restore Standard Fonts...
    You'll be prompted to confirm, and then to enter your administrator login password.
    Start up in safe mode to rebuild the font caches. Restart as usual and test.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t start in safe mode. In that case, ask for instructions.
    Also note that if you deactivate or remove any built-in fonts, for instance by using a third-party font manager, the system may become unstable.

  • Jrootmenu - An Linux root/start menu

    What does it look like?
    So what is it?
    I'm not entirely sure what the "start" menu is called, be it in Windows, or contextually in OpenBox, JWM, SithWM, etc. but essentially, it's a launcher in a familiar menu form. For an equivalent, take a look at mygtkmenu.
    Why did I create it?
    I settled on DWM as my window manager. While I like dmenu, I prefer a graphical launcher. The closest I could find was mygtkmenu, but the configuration file wasn't in XML, and certain shell commands have to be escaped rather peculiarly. Dissatisfied, I tinkered until this was made.
    What are its goals?
    Menu generation from an xml sheet
    Font size can be altered
    Expanders (the tiny arrows that appear before submenus) can be changed
    Should hide/unhide itself due to a keybinding
    Color scheme can be changed
    Why Java, not C?
    I don't know C. I'm familiar with Java.
    What are the dependencies?
    The java runtime environment.
    What's the set up?
    Download jrootmenu.tar.bz2 (116.56 KB), and extract the contents. The help.html file is located in jrootmenu/menu/root/docs/ and explains pretty much everything, or it should anyhow.
    Are you going to provide the source?
    The source is included, though it is not heavily commented. The license provides for the modification of the source code but not for (re)distribution of changes or even the original code, therefore, no forking. The source code for the custom look and feel is not provided. However, removing it in no way affects the functionality of JRootMenu.
    Can you make a PKGBUILD?
    I've read through the PKGBUILD pages on the wiki, and I can't surmise where to even begin. Those pages seem geared for people who are Linux/Arch devs as opposed to just a guy who cobbled together some code to do what he wanted.
    Conclusion
    I'm satisfied with how it works, functionally-speaking. I made this for myself, and I'm sharing it with the intent that there may be someone out there who was seeking something similar. Or perhaps, it will prompt a competent someone to take this idea and make it in C. If you have suggestions for improving it, feel free to add them to the thread, particularly if they involve some way of decreasing CPU/RAM usage.

    Not at all chickenPie4tea, thanks for the interest.
    I also wanted to take the opportunity to expound on the newest feature I've implemented. I had an issue while testing alternate themes wherein I meant to restart JRootMenu but instead inadvertently selected the option to restart my system. So as to avoid the same mistake twice, I figured the user should be prompted before executing a command if it happens to be a particularly important one (logout/restart/shutdown for instance). The way this is accomplished from the configuration file is by adding a caption="" attribute to the <Shell> element. Thus, when a user clicks that particular item in the menu, a dialog will appear with the user-defined message asking if he wishes to proceed with the action or decline it. Here's an example from the configuration file:
    <Shell caption="Shut down computer?">sudo systemctl poweroff</Shell>

  • [Forum FAQ]Solution for Windows PowerShell console font issue when changing system locale

    Issue description
    After changing Windows System Locale to another country, users cannot modify Windows PowerShell console font to Lucida after modifying the font settings. There is also a potential bug report in Microsoft connect:
    https://connect.microsoft.com/PowerShell/feedback/details/806286/powershell-4-console-font-issue
    Reason
    In most situations, this problem is caused by system locale is changed to other countries from United States, such as Chinese, French, etc. Because of this change, the code page and font of Windows PowerShell console might be changed with system locale.
    For Example, if change system locale to Chinese (Simplified China), Windows PowerShell console
    (%systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools) properties would be changed like this:
    Solution
    To resolve this problem, please follow the steps below:
    Access to the path below to find the shortcut of Windows PowerShell:
    %systemdrive%\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools.
    Right click Windows PowerShell and choose Properties.
    Switch to Options, check if Current code page list there, if that it is, choose
    437 (OEM-United States) and click Apply. Maybe you will encounter an
    Access Deniedpop-up as the following picture.  Then you need take ownership of current PowerShell File, switch to
    Security Tab and obtain full control permission for current User Account.
    Note: if Current code page was not list there, just leave alone
    Options settings and switch to Font Tab.
    Switch to Font Tab, choose the font you wished to use, click
    Apply.
    After the above settings, current Windows PowerShell console font should works as you wished.

    Cause
    This issue is due to the bootmgr file, we cannot use the bootmgr file of Windows 7 to find the Windows 8 Operating System files.
    The Windows 7 bootmgr can indeed boot Windows 8.
    This is on a BIOS system 
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVO5aeaKeeE
    This is on a UEFI system 
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3-K6Fyobz0
    The Windows 8 bootmgr partially loads Windows 8 before offering the boot menu.  By choosing Windows 7, the system must do a reboot.  Using the Windows 7 bootmgr, no reboot is required.

  • Photoshop CC 2014 font issues

    I'm Not entirely sure why this is happening, or what's causing it, but photoshop cc 2014 is causing some serious issues with fonts on my documents. Up until this point my company has used Extensis Suitcase Fusion to activate fonts used throughout our project docs. The 2014 typekit update and addition is somehow conflicting with either photoshop or suitcase and in return setting a large portion of my fonts to it's default or regular weight. It seems like while suitcase is auto activating the necessary fonts, typekit is reading each of those weights as their own individual fonts. This might seem difficult to understand but in any case i would just like to know if there is a way to completely deactivate typekit and or remove it's involvement in my project documents, at this point it is resetting dozens of fonts on some very important project files. I'd much rather not be limited to just the fonts that adobe or typekit prefers.

    I still don’t have a clue…
