Certain characters showing as black box?

I'm having an issue with nepomuk/bangarang (well only place I've noticed it anyway). Where some characters are showing up as black diamonds with a question mark inside them.
I tried changing "locale" in rc.conf to "en_US" and I have both en_US locale's uncommented in locale.gen.
here's a screenshot:

I tried uncommenting a few relevent locales and doing that but it made no difference. It seems like bangarang is the only program doing this to me though, if i looked at the tags in dolphin they were fine and umlauts ect.. show.

Contact form not accepting certain characters in the email box

Hi, i am currently using a flash template from flashmo.com and i have installed it etc... The problem i have is that when you go to send a message in the contact form you cannot enter certain characters in the email box, especially the '@' symbol, hw do i go about fixing this?
Thanks a lot

for each textfield you see in the ide, click it (to select it) and check the properties panel/embed fonts to make sure all characters needed in your app are checked.

It only show a black box during the input session.

If I selected double-character font to key-in and it can't show correctly during input on input area inside of any website. It only show a black box during the input session.　(Nightly V36.0a1)

You can right-click that input filed and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
You can check what font is used for that text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.
If you know the correct font name that you can also try to set the correct font-family by clicking the element {} line in the Rule tab.
If that works then you can try to create a style rule for the userContent.css file or the Stylish extension.
<pre><nowiki>@-moz-document domain(ebay.com) {
input { font-family: "<font name>" !important; }
}</nowiki></pre>
The customization files userChrome.css (user interface) and userContent.css (websites) are located in the <b>chrome</b> folder in the Firefox profile folder.

Thank you for your question, the black box can be from drivers or hardware acceleration.

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
#Open Firefox ''Options'' window (''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux) as follows:
#* In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
#* In Firefox 28.0 and previous versions, click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
#In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
#In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
#Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]

Characters show up as boxes when using AWT components.

Having installed on a Windows XP english OS the asian languages packs (with fonts included, from Microsoft) and knowing that with MS Gothic, Gulim and Simsun you can display japanese, korean and chinese characters it seems that on JRE 1.5 and up this is not possible (boxes appear instead) on any applet.
How to reproduce:
Label l2 = new Label("Japanese chars: \u8457\u4f5c\u6a29");
Workaround:
Step 1. Rename ..\jre\lib\fontconfig.properties.src to ……\fontconfig.properties
Step 2. Modify the following line:
sequence.allfonts=alphabetic/default,dingbats,symbol
to
sequence.allfonts=alphabetic/default,dingbats,symbol,japanese,chinese-ms936,chinese-ms950,korean
How is this possible? On JRE 1.4 this was working. Also another fix is to use Swing components instead but this is not realistic for a big project.
Any help will be greatly apprecied.

The problem is related to the JRE v. 1.5.0_11 or greater. In JRE 1.4.2_13 for each language there was a configuration file that Java was using to determine which fonts to use for different categories of objects.
The problem is encountered only for AWT components.
Starting with JRE 1.5 (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/intl/fontconfig.html) there is only one configuration file (fontconfig.properties.src) for all the languages. Since the character subsets supported by given fonts often overlap, in the file separate search sequence properties are used to define in which order to try the fonts when rendering a character. In the default version of the file this properties do not specify also the asian languages.
We have to do the following things:
*1.* You must first install into Windows the support for asian languages: Control Panel - > Regional and Language Options
� On the Advanced tab add the conversion tables for all Asian languages (this action may not be required).
� On the Languages tab check �Install files for East Asian Languages (this action is required)
Restart the computer.
*2.* Assure you have the needed asian fonts : batang(fopr korean), simsun, gulim, mingliu, msgothic(for japanese) installed.
*3.* Rename ...\jre\lib\fontconfig.properties.src to ��\jre\lib\fontconfig.properties. By doing this the fontconfig.properties file will be used by the JRE as the default configuration file.
*4.* Modify the following line:
sequence.allfonts=alphabetic/default,dingbats,symbol
to
sequence.allfonts=alphabetic/default,dingbats,symbol,japanese,chinese-ms936,chinese-ms950,korean
*5.* Assure that in the file the logical to physic font binding, binds to existing fonts.
Obs: If step 1 is skipped the titles of the windows will still have boxes.
Hope it helps.

Some characters show as grey box (missing from font?)

Browsing, e.g. <http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/haskell2010/haskellch4.html#x10-820061>, some of the characters are replaced by a grey placeholder box. Comparing with the desktop, one seems to be U+22C6, so I'm thinking that it can't find a font to display that with. But it seems to affect some ordinary ASCII-range characters too, in Fig 4.1 and following text at the URL above, so maybe there's more going on?
More generally, from other questions here I gather that Firefox is using its own fonts rather than relying on what's on the device already. So, can I shore that up with some good fallback fonts like symbola?

Firefox will use Charis or Clear Sans by default. Though if the glyph is not found in those fonts it will check the other system fonts such as Roboto or Droid Sans.
The glyph coverage should be the same as Chrome or the 'browser/internet' application. If it is not then we would need a copy of the fonts installed on the phone as we have run into phones that ship corrupt fonts. Doing this requires the Android SDK and executing the following command
adb pull /system/fonts/
Then zip the fonts and share them with us.

Facebook videos show a black box why?

Why do facebook videos show up as a black box

Do you see this issue in other browsers?
Chrome maintains it's own version of Flash Player, but they've recently switched from the NPAPI (Netscape Plug-In API) version that we ship for Firefox and Safari to the PPAPI (Pepper API) version. This may be a bug that's unique to the PPAPI version of Flash Player.=
What's the URL to the game/video that you're seeing the problem with?
I checked a few videos with my machine and they played fine.

WCS Map Editor Shows Big Black Box

Anyone seen this? I'm in WCS and I select my map, and then choose the map editor icon. When the editor loads, my map looks like this:

All -
Been playing phone tag with Cisco TAC (the results of global enconomization and time zone differences). In the mean time, my co-worker and I figured out that our problem was that the images were set to have a transparent background in GIMP before saving as PNG. We typically do this to keep the file size smaller, but WCS chokes on it. To test, I placed a white background and imported to WCS and it's all better! Now, is there a way to replace an exisiting background map that already has APs on it? I don't think so! I'll follow the case through with TAC and see what Rahul has to say.

Photoshop cursor show up as a BIG BLACK BOX?!! - HELP CS3

I'm not sure what happened, but when I select ANY tool other than the 'move tool' my cursor shows up a a solid black box of varying sizes. The move tool shows up correctly but any other tool shows up a a large solid square. If I hold the command, the black box converts back to the move tool... see screen shot below. I circled the 'cursor' in red to show the black box state.
Any help GREATLY appreciated. I'm not sure if my 2 year old pressed keys to turn something on/off or if my Macbook Pro is failing?
The black box in the red circle below IS my cursor...

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Adobe Flash Player only shows black box on most websites.

Adobe Flash Player 11.4.402.287 is only showing a black box but not loading or showing any buttons on some/most websites. I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and the problem exists on websites such as espn.com but works on others such as hulu and youtube. It exists on Google Chrome and Firefox. I had some adblock and flash add-ons in Firefox, but I have the add-ons disabled. And the problem exists in both browsers. It has been a problem for less than a month but I am not sure entirely how much longer. I was outside of the US until recently, the problem may have corresponded with return but I am not sure. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated.

I am facing the same issues as well. In particular, I can't play flash videos on www.blizzard.com as the video controls doesn't show up.
YouTube and Facebook flash videos work fine.
After deleting ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player and ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player, the controls appeared.
Perhaps you may want to try that?

Problem with .png images being black boxes in InDesign

Hello,
I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with a problem I'm having with some .png files. When I try to place certain .png files in my InDesign document, they come in as just black boxes. The .png files are created by a third party application, (EditLive w/MathFlow) But if I view the .png files in Fireworks or other image viewers, they appear to be fine. I have tried looking at the image properties inside InDesign, to see if by tweaking them it might work, but I am not a graphic designer by trade so my knowledge is rather limited. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Specs:
Windows XP
CS4 Suite including:
Adobe InDesign CS4
Fireworks CS4
Thanks,
Josh

That worked! Mostly. The little preview box on the file upload dialog still shows a black box. But when the image is placed inside the doc it looks perfect. Well, as perfect as the .png can look.
Is there any way within InDesign to "ignore" the alpha channel or whatever of the graphic? I have access to the IDML as well as the normal application interface & the SDK through the InDesign Server. I'd prefer not to be reliant on opening the image in another tool, as we have a large number of images to process some times & it could get annoying. If not, I can try contacting the 3rd party group that is generating the .png & see if they can better handle the alpha channel when they're creating the image maybe...
And thanks for the quick responses!

Black boxes appear instead of figures

Hello,
I am having a problem reading downloaded pdfs in Acrobat X Pro (on a PC): in many figures (or in random places on the page), black boxes will appear instead of graphs/tables/figures (or one column or another). If I open the pdf in my browser I don't have a problem.
I think it may be connected to a related problem in which highlighted text was appearing as completely blacked out--that I managed to fix by changing the transparency of my highlight. Perhaps it's something to do with my color management?
I have installed updates and repaired my installation of Acrobat.

Hi ajanela,
Are the black boxes only where you'd expect to see images? If so, please choose Edit > Preferences, and click the Page Display category. Then, look in the Page Content and Information section, and make sure that Show Large Images is selected. If this preference is deselected, then Acrobat will show only black boxes in place of images.
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,
Sara

TCS Recording black box

When you add TCS to call it adds a black box and shows it recording but it stays on the call showing it. Can you turn this off so it doesn't show the black box on the call?

As Martin has mentioned, if you use an MCU or TelePresence Server, you can mute the incoming video of the TCS.
This has even been asked before a couple of times, and there are even 2 enhancement requests for it, CSCty83791 and CSCup47470. If this is something you really like to see, suggest you contact your Cisco Account Manager and see if they can push either of those requests for you.

YouTube Black Box (even with 32-bit enabled)

A couple of weeks ago I went to Apple because my YouTube would only show a black box, they fixed and then and now its happening again. I check Safari and it is on 32-bit, but still isn't working. Any suggestions?

Perhaps YouTube's explanation helps:
YouTube: 'I can hear audio but can't see the video (black box, weird scroll bar, etc.)'
