Qt and xfce and a bunch of greek letters

first of all i googled my self into some of this conclusion so let's see my case
all programs that use qt in my computer have a strange way to comunicate with the user. for that they use a greek letters that we mentaly have to see similarities in order to read!!!
a bunch of programs in greek.
notepaddqq
vlc
on qtconfig-qt4 we can see what went wrong in the first image, we have a font called Standard Simbols L and just looks like Greek
here i select tahoma font and the sample is now readable
the problem is when i save changes and close it. it doesn't save anything,
and a little bit of information when i do su every program runs in english
here is the config with tahoma
check that strange font here when i selected it
i use greybird as my theme, (i read that could be for this somewhere)
and my locale is set this way
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

that file is another issue. it is created when i open any qt program. i already deleted it. and call qtconfig-qt4, deleted and call vlc and is same old greek. i even edited it to tahoma instead of standard symbols L. i already ran qtconfig then rm it then save the configs (in this case it saved tahoma in the file).  i don't know what else to do with that file. maybe a copy paste from a functional one would resolve it but I doubt it.
Thanks

  • Bolding Greek letters in Framemaker equations

    Is there a way to bold Greek letters within equations in Frame?  Thanks.
    Carol

    Thanks - I do have the latest version and the character map, but the greek letters I'm finding in bold don't copy into equation setups.? I'm just needing the bold for earmarking purposes and not to be part of the final document.?
    Carol
    ==================
    Bold is (over) used in Mathematics. It appears everywhere even with Greek
    letters. The lack of bold Greek was due to the bold font in the Symbol font.
    Many fonts are available that provide bold Greek letters. They are available in
    various different mathematical fonts as well as Greek fonts. In fact, with the
    advent of Unicode there are more fonts that provide bold Greek letters. Of
    course you need a modern version of Frame to access the Greek Alphabet available
    in some Unicode fonts.

  • Does Pages have Greek letters?

    I'm trying to write up some math notes in Pages and would like to use some Greek letters like mu, sigma, Sigma and others. Is this possible?
    Thanks

    Keyboards modify the way you type in characters.
    Download Amaya for OSX and install it, then select it as a keyboard from your System Preferences. The page I linked you to shows you how to type the Greek characters.
    All the characters exist in Unicode which Pages and other OSX applications use. Inserting using specialty Keyboards or via the Character viewer.

  • XFCE and KDE question

    Would there be any conflicts if XFCE and KDE were both installed at the same time or would it be wiser to remove KDE before installing XFCE?

    You'll probably be fine. Both programs can edit desktop files which can effect the other. I'm not sure how KDE handles mime types though. If it uses the same database, that could cause one to effect the other.

  • XFCE and KDE Menus on same machine

    I'm planning on installing both XFCE and KDE on a laptop and was wondering if there was any way to separate the KDE and XFCE programs in the menu.  For example on KDE when I go to Multimedia under the K Menu I would see K3B and under a subfolder called XFCE or GTK2 or whatever I would see Brasero.  I'd like to do the opposite in XFCE, with the KDE apps in a seperate subfolder.  I seem to remember seeing this on another distro but can't remember what it was.  Is there any way to do this automatically?  Thanks.

    As far as KDE goes, right click anywhere in the menu system or on the KDE button, and you can get into the menu editor. From there, you can do anything you want. Of course, when installing new programs, they are going to end up where ever the packager wants them.

    hello there! i am using Adobe acrobat pro DC and using windows 8.1. Recently I was trying to convert a web page (includes Greek letters) into PDF. I noticed that the conversion is not accurate, some words are missing, some are misplaced. Especially Greek words are not accurately converted or even not converted. Please give me some suggestions to improve this issue. Regards

    Hey quantum info,
    Thank you for posting at Adobe forums. We would love to help you out.
    Could you please let me know if you have tried converting other web pages to PDF and checked if the same issue persists.
    How have you been trying to convert the web page to PDF?
    Are you trying to convert to PDF directly via browsers or using "File > Create > PDF from Web Page"  option in Acrobat.
    Let me know more so that I can analyze where actually the issue persists.
    Hope to hear from you.
    Regards,
    Anubha

  • What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce?

    What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce? Today I heard someone said gnome and kde have more software than xfce. Is that real?
    Thank you.

    Its really a matter of taste, really. KDE is know to be configurable like hell, GNOME very easy to use, and XFCE lightweitgh.
    Keep in mind that whatever desktop environment (DE) you choose, you can use any application in any DE. For example, firefox, a "GTK" application, works without problem under KDE. Or Kile, a latex front-end for KDE, works perfect under Gnome.
    Personnally I prefer KDE. But I mostly prefer KDE applications like the editors (Kate/Kwrite) and file manager (dolphin).
    KDE is slower to start on my EeePC (really small machine) but because it is full featured, I can cut on number of packages installed, so in the end, with the same functionality, I have more room on my disk then using XFCE!
    Just try them, and choose the one you like

    What exactly is the problem?
    Your description is so muddled I am having trouble working it out.
    How does your exported .doc file mess up websites? In fact what does it have to do with websites?
    Where, how and what are the random words turning up?

  • Font rendering differences between Xfce and KDE

    Hi,
    I am using both KDE and Xfce (mostly Xfce with KDE apps) and I observed that there is a font rendering difference between Gtk (Xfce) and QT (KDE) apps.
    In both desktop environments I use dejavu sans font, size 9 and I have set RGB subpixel rendering and hinting to full.
    I created some screenshots of dolphin and thunar to illustrate the differences (right click and select view image to see the screenshots in full resolution)
    Can somebody help me to make gtk app fonts to look the same as qt ones? Or at least tell me why there is this difference.
    Thank you.

    I cant tell you why there is a difference, but this page may help you. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_Configuration
    I ended up installing the Ubuntu patched packages in the AUR, but there are different options.

  • Bullets showing up as hearts in LXDE and XFCE?

    I'm running into a super strange issue that I haven't been able to find any information on.
    Basically, when I'm in LXDE or XFCE, whenever I go to a website or any place where I put in a password and it shows up corresponding bullets in lieu of the password characters (for example, logging into GMail, when typing my password) it shows heart symbols, not the bullets it normally does.
    Oddly, when in Gnome this isn't the case and the bullets show up as proper bullets, not as hearts. I'm not sure when this issue began, because I was running Gnome for so longer, ever since I first installed Arch on this laptop. I haven't had the problem on my desktop.
    I'm not even sure where to begin figuring this out. I've got my console set to UTF-8.
    You can see it in this screenshot:
    Any help would be fantastic. It's not a functional thing, but it's incredibly annoying.
    EDIT: Also, fyi, U+2202 prints a bullet point as it should, and this issue occurs in all browsers on all websites in LXDE and XFCE (but not Gnome, haven't tried KDE)

    How would one change this? My rc.conf is set as:

    DAEMON_LOCALE="yes"
    HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
    So this should have the OS using UTF-8, correct?
    I've set my fonts in obconf to Liberation Sans, instead of simply sans.
    Also interesting, in Chromium I do not get the hearts, but I get them in every Mozilla application, as well as in most other applications that accept passwords (encryption keys in wicd network manager, for instance).
    Is it something to do with GTK?

  • Greek Letters, Symbols for College Fraternities and Sororites

    Does anyone know how to access a palette of characters that has Greek letters or symbols for Greek Fraternities and Sororities? I am working on a project and I need to have their letters on the screen.
    Thanks!
    Examples:
    Delta looks like a triangle
    Omega looks like a horseshoe
    Phi looks like a O with a line in the middle of it.

    Here's another way.
    Go to System Preferences > International > Input Menu.
    Activate the checkboxes for Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer.
    Close System Preferences. You will notice that a flag has appeared in your menu bar.
    Click the flag and choose Character Palette. Click on Greek in the left column.
    In FCP, activate the text input field by clicking in it once.
    Double clicking the symbols in the Character Palette will insert them in the text input field.

  • Greek Letters and Superscript

    Is it possible to insert a greek character into pages on the ipad? When I import an office doc containing a greek character, the greek character is present. Also, is it possible to superscript and subscript in pages on the ipad?

    I know this is an old thread but it's still the top result in google for this problem so I'm posting here.
    I had been copy/pasting greek letters & other symbols for a long time before I realised this trick today.
    Use the iPad's shortcuts feature in keyboard settings for any symbols you use regularly, eg I use "ss2" as a shortcut for 2 and "/-" for ±, still a work around but alot smoother than what I've been doing for over a year with the added bonus of working in any app.
    Combined with the greek intl keyboard this is barely a problem, even if it is a glaring omission by apple.

    It sounds like you might need to reinstall.
    If you can open Terminal, this note might be worth a try:

  • [SOLVED, I hope] Xfce and Firefox "renewed" by shutdown

    I closed all the apps, exited X and turned the box off # shutdown -h now
    On booting the next day, xfce was reset to "just installed" status (all settings gone) and Firefox was brand new, welcoming me for the "first" time -- no bookmarks.  I never saw the like.  It's no train wreck, but....
    EDIT:
    OK, that's bizarre.  In spite of the fact that I did everything as always, another login to the GUI in Arch produced a restored xfce and Firefox.  Even the bookmarks are back.  I can't explain it, but I'm not going to refuse the help of the resident Poltergeist.  Now: how do I keep him friendly?
