So you see little squares insted of your letters in KDE ???

Ok so i went like 2 hours to fix this , as i the forum there are lots of threads about this without the answer , i looked with fonts squares but nothing.
Here is the thing , i need the letters á é í ó ú and also ñ , so i had them for example in firefox , xchat , and other gtk based apps. But when it came down to kde they where blank squares , for example in kedit , kwrite , run app , etc.
the thing is because the locale is not well generated. so i went to the /etc/locale.gen and unncommented the lines with es_ES.utf8 , then afterthat i did locale-gen command , so that generated my en_ES.UTF-8 locale.
edited the line on rc.conf , to match that locale and that was it !! now i have all my keboard letters working on kde and every other app
thats it
keywords - fonts - squares

My first try at Arch and the only thing (so far) I got stuck on was the ability to write Swedish characters in KDE applications but still having the KDE language to be english.
For quite some time I was able to enter Swedish characters (åäö) as part of the use name or password during the kdm login. Once KDE got up and runing all I got was dose small squares in place of the Swedish chars..
And yes, I didn't realize I had to reboot for the changes to /etc/rc.conf to take place, just restart X wasn't a smart move

  • Does some of you see little squares on his ipad3 screen, when bright light shines directly on the display?! Is this normal?

    Hey folks,
    I just got my iPad 3, and when the display is almost white like on the google homepage i noticed there were small squares or a grid visible all over the screen (when a light is shinning directly on the screen). I just want to know if it is just on my device or some of you also have experienced the same. If you cannot see the grid just tilt the ipad a bit when you are on a white background (as it is most visible on a white background). In addition I recognized that my ipad has a much "warmer" colour setting than my colleague's one. His one is "whiter" or "colder".
    For any ideas, experiences, suggestion: thanks in advances!

    Look like the plastic molding process is not perfect in your top shell surface, or some component might attach to that area that make the layer that block the light from lcd is not covering those area.
    I don't have my MacBook with me so I cannot give you any idea or comparison, hope somebody will post either they have same issue or they inform you that they dont have any of that.
    Just discuss this with you apple store or apple dealer if you feel this is annoyed, bring your picture along with your MacBook and even better print this thread so they now you are serious and not faking it.
    Actually it is kinda cool when you drew up small layout of the spot, it makes your MacBook one of a kind. If you post this thread on 6/6/06, it might give me goose bump, just kidding.

  • Can you see the delivery destination on the tracking information?

    I'm thinking that I made a mistake on my delivery address.
    When I realize the mistake, I changed the address. from IL to FL.
    I received the email from Apple, that my new order has been shipped (Ipad).
    When I track my order on FEDEX, I only can see PICKED UP. on Nashville TN.
    And I can't see the destination city or area. (normally all the Fedex shipments have information about destination).
    And the tracking is still on PICKED UP, why is not IN TRANSIT? (2 days picking the package up??)
    I live in FL.
    Can you see the delivery information on your tracking orders?
    Will my package be deliver in IL or FL?

    Call Apple and see what they can do.  My guess would be that if you tried to change your order in any way after the status was changed from Processing, you won't have success.  And if the address was listed as IL, not Florida at the time of shipping, your item is likely headed to IL.  If your item is listed as picked up, it's not in transit because all iPads are being held at the shipper until the 16th as the earliest delivery date.

    En français: j'ai un IMac - Mac OSX version 10.4 et présentement je vois seulement des lignes verticales sur mon bureau et ma souris c'est-à-dire la flèche, bouge mais il y a un petit carré avec aussi des lignes verticales à sa droite. Je pense que ce bug est survenu lorsque j'étais sur Skype avec une amie et que par erreur j'ai cliqué sur l'image de la vidéo et peu à peu les lignes sont appurues et tout l'écran est envahie par ces lignes.
    Comment corriger le problème ? Merci à l'avance.

    Hello, sounds like Video card  and/or heat problems.

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode).
