[Solved/Workaround found] XFCE/Firefox/Thunderbird: Weird characters

Hi,
since a few days, there have been weird characters appearing in texts, especially in Firefox, but also in Thunderbird or in the XFCE desktop environment. There you can find a screenshot to see what I mean: http://i.snag.gy/y2Xom.jpg
I found this topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151095
and installed harfbuzz-git, with no change, and also cairo-git, from AUR, but this does not help either.
Is this kind of a bug in XFCE, or in some of the new Gnome 3.6 libraries?
Thanks!

[EDIT] This is with nvidia drivers, enabling or disabling compositing does not change anything.

  • My Mac won't read cyrillic in certain files and displays instead weird characters like this: "–í–µ-Ç–µ-Ä –ø-Ä–æ–¥–∏-Ä–∞–µ-Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ-Å-Ç–µ–π." Any ideas why this might be or how I can solve it?

    Yesterday I extracted the subtitles of an MKV file to try and print them. Unfortunately, when I open the .srt file with any text processor, it displays weird characters like the ones included in the title:
    "–û–±—ã–≤–∞—Ç–µ–ª–∏ –ø–µ—á–∞–ª—å–Ω—ã.
    –í–µ—Ç–µ—Ä –ø—Ä–æ–¥–∏—Ä–∞–µ—Ç –¥–æ –∫–æ—Å—Ç–µ–π."
    I thought this had to do with it being an .srt file, but just now I encountered the same problem with an Excel file.
    Any ideas why this might be or suggestions as to how to solve it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mario

    It looks like an encoding problem.  You should try opening the file in a text editor where you can choose one of the various possible cyrillic encodings (utf-8, koi8-r, iso-8859-5, win-1251, MacCyrillic)

  • Turned my computer on and Firefox/Thunderbird fonts look weird all are set to default...

    Turned my computer on and Firefox/Thunderbird fonts look weird all are set to default... Ive disabled all addons/extensions/themes ran it in safemode reinstalled firefox. Nothing changed... the font looks like a crappy version of the default font. Also all my font settings are correct.

    Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Firefox tabs display weird characters

    Recently getting weird characters on my tabs.
    p.s how do I add pictures on here to show my problem?

    here is my picture

  • Weird characters visualized by all webbrowsers

    Hi everybody,
    I have recently installed OSX 10.6.4 upgrading from Leopard. Installation was successfull but from that very moment on I have experienced problems in webpages' visualization:
    common characters such as letters or punctuation marks are often replaced by striped, accented or otherwise weird characters (e.g. "a" has become "ą").
    I commonly use Firefox (3.6.8) where many webpages are almost illegible.
    On the contrary, Safari (5.0.1) and Camino (2.0.4) are affected by the same problem but the number of 'modified' characters is much smaller than on Firefox; curiously I have not found any match yet between the characters misread by Firefox and those misread by Safari or Camino (that is the characters not properly visualized by Firefox are correctly visualized by Safari and Camino and viceversa).
    Furthermore, not all webpages seem to be affected by the problem for e.g. apple.com, wikipedia.com and others are visualized properly. The problem affects appearently indistinguibly all components of the webpages such as buttons (e.g. "Search" on google.com) and input fields of webpages (but not those of the browser or of plug-in toolbars ecc.).
    Now, how am I supposed to solve the issue?
    Thankyou in advance for help

    Indeed the problem concerned (I am happy I may use the simple past) fonts but deleting the font database was not a possibility in my case (I have more than 1.000 fonts and use them everyday so even saving them and reinstalling one by one would not have been of help). Fortunately Font Book validation procedure has highlighted the problem (dued to doubled font packages).
    Thankyou for the hint!

  • After update - Safari, Firefox, Thunderbird, Azureus, and SWT crash

    Dear All,
    my PowerBook G4 15" 1.5 GHz, 1.25 GB RAM worked perfectly. Last week I performed the update. I got the newest Java, and I think that this caused a problem.
    Right now, programs like Safari, Firefox, Thunderbird, Azureus, Skype and SWT (needed for Azureus) crash just minutes after starting. I think, that this is a JAVA problem. I start them alone, so there cannot be any problem with CPU power, and they all worked perfectly before.
    Just after rebooting my system I started Safari. It crashed in seconds. I attach the logfile and ask you kindly for help .
    Best, Masterkv

    Powerbook G4 15" 1.5 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   All automatical updates performed

    Sometimes the automatic Software Update mechanism built into Mac OS X fails to display appropriate, available updates, or fails to properly apply updates that have been successfully downloaded. It also is sometimes inaccessible via its normal location in the Apple menu.
    "Grayed-Out" Software Update menu item Generally, Software Update can be universally accessed via the Apple menu. In some cases however -- sometimes after a major system update -- the Software Update menu item appears in a grey shade indicating that it cannot be selected
    The most consistent workaround for this issue has been clearing of system caches -- a task easily accomplished with a tool like Panther Cache Cleaner.
    Unable to apply updates Some users are presented with a permissions error referring to the directory: "/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate." when attempting to check for new updates, install updates, or launch the Software Update application.
    There are a number of causes for, and solutions to this issue.
    Moved applications First, if you have moved any Apple applications from their original locations inside the "Applications" folder, Software Update may not be able to locate them. Make sure to leave Apple-installed applications where they are originally installed.
    Permissions repairs Next, try using Apple's Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities) to repair permissions, then try running Software Update again. This works for a high percentage of afflicted systems. Failing this, try starting up from your Mac OS X CD/DVD and repairing permissions again.
    Deleting Receipts In some cases, the issue can be resolved by deleting one or a handful of files inside the Mac OS X Library folder. Try deleting the "receipt(s)" that corresponds to the application or Mac OS X version you are attempting to install (i.e. iPhotoUpdate403.pkg or MacOSXUpdate10.3.8.pkg). The receipts are located in /Library/Receipts, and appear as .pkg files (these files tell Software Update whether or not a specific update has been installed).
    Modifying permissions A somewhat more tedious process involves using the tool BatChmod to modify folder permissions for the "/tmp/501" directory implicated by the error message mentioned above. Use the Finder to search for names containing 501 or 502 (depending on your error message) with second criteria both visible and invisible then drag the enclosing invisible Temp folder on to the BatChmod icon and select the 'Apply Ownership and Privileges' then press apply 'Apply' button.
    tar missing (Developer Tools uninstalled) In some cases, applications critical to Software update -- in particular tar and pax may be missing from your Mac OS X installation. In order to make sure that these applications to indeed reside on your startup drive, you may want to try an Archive and Install process, restoring these critical components that may have been otherwise damaged.
    This problem can occur, for instance, if you previously installed XCode and then used the XCode Tools uninstaller. The uninstaller may mistakenly break the tar utility, causing Software Update to fail. Reinstalling the XCode Tools from the Panther CD can cause this issue.
    Logical link broken In other cases, the logical link for the /tmp directory may be broken. Entering the following commands through the Terminal application (located in Applications/Utilities on a standard Mac OS X installation) usually resolves this problem (note that you will be asked for your administrator password):
    sudo mv /tmp /tmp_old
    sudo ln -s /private/tmp /tmp
    Waiting Finally simply waiting and trying the update again at a later time has proved successful for a number of users.
    Of course, if the update is available from Apple's software download page, you can obtain the appropriate installers via this route until you can solve the issue with Software Update.

  • Weird characters appear after write to a file

    Here is my story:
    I open a file using RandomAccessFile to replace some characters inside it. Let's say I have in the file string 4000, I replace it by string 400. It works fine.
    Now if I replace this number by string 40000, when I check the text file, some weird characters like ^M appear everywhere at the end of lines.
    What's the reason and how to solve it? I believe there is some invisible characters at the end of string 4000 that causes the problem.
    Note that I use function writeBytes to write strings into the file.

    public static void changeFileRAF(String sFile, String paramName, String paramValue) {
    try {
    RandomAccessFile rf = new RandomAccessFile(sFile, "rws");
    String currentLine;
    long pos;
    while (true) {
    pos = rf.getFilePointer();
    currentLine = rf.readLine();
    if (currentLine == null)
    break;
    if (currentLine.trim().startsWith(paramName)) {
    rf.seek(pos);
    char[] replaceLine = currentLine.toCharArray();
    char[] value = paramValue.toCharArray();
    int i = 0;
    //pass all white space characters
    while (i < replaceLine.length && Character.isWhitespace(replaceLine)) {
    i++;
    //pass all characters representing tag name
    while (i < replaceLine.length && !Character.isWhitespace(replaceLine[i])) {
    i++;
    //again, pass all white space characters
    while (i < replaceLine.length && Character.isWhitespace(replaceLine[i])) {
    i++;
    if (i == replaceLine.length) {//no value, do nothing                                                           
    return;
    int oldValueLength = replaceLine.length - i;
    String newLine = System.getProperty("line.separator");
    if (oldValueLength >= value.length) {
    System.out.println("different: " + (oldValueLength - value.length));

    I hope it's not too long.

    I have FF and win7. Fonts turn to weird characters at more then 75% zoom when the checkbox "allow webpages to choose their own fonts" in the contents option > advanced is checked, when forced to calibri this behaviour doesnt occur
    An aexample of that is the product title on the product of this website:
    https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&file=item&ItemID=2424553
    While switching to double check this I just saw that this also happens in this very window in wich i am typing my question now. If i copy and paste this text to for example notepad or anything else, it shows up like normal text.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == i installed firefox on win 7

    This issue can be caused by the bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or another (bitmap) font that can't be displayed by Firefox in that font size.
    Firefox can't display that font in the specified size and displays gibberish instead.
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or find a True type version of that font that doesn't have the problem.

  • Weird characters in g++ output

    When using Arch and ssh/xterm to remotely logging into an Ubuntu machine (university lab computer)  to run g++, the complier output (when there's a compile error) has an accented character "a hat" (i.e. the character "a" with a caret symbol above it) in place of all function and variable names .
    For instance, it will output:
    file.cc : In function <a-hat symbol>
    file.cc:19: error: <a-hat> was not declared in this scope.
    when it should have outputted:
    file.cc : In function main
    file.cc:19: error: idx was not declared in this scope.
    NOTE:  I don't know how to enter special characters in a post, so I entered <a-hat> instead of the actual special character.
    Now, it doesn't happen when I log into the Ubuntu machine from another Ubuntu machine.  It only happens when the client is Arch.  I am 99% certain that this is a problem with Ubuntu and not Arch.  But, I don't have root on the Ubuntu machine because it's the school's computer, so I can't fix it.
    Does anyone know if there's something I can try on the Arch box that will fix this display problem?
    EDIT:  Sorry, I should've posted this in the Workstation thread maybe.  Admins, please kindly move it if you see fit.

    grepper and Tucos in #conky solved the issue for me.  Apparently, the "weird characters" was a color code.  I had to pipe:
    sed -r "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[m|K]//g"
    in conkyrc to remove color codes.

  • How do I STOP automatic updates for firefox & thunderbird?

    How can I STOP automatic updates for firefox & thunderbird?

    Go to Tools > Options, Advanced, Update.
    Under "automatically check for updates," uncheck the box next to Firefox.
    Then click the button next to "ask me" under
    "[[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/872089 When updates to Firefox are found]]"
    If you don't see anything, wait eleven minutes and try again.

  • BB Desktop shows weird characters

    Hey G66,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    To better assist you can you provide a screen shot of the characters you are seeing? Also what language was selected when you completed the install?
    Thanks.

  • Keyboard issue - weird characters

    Just did a complete erase and install. TM restored almost perfectly. EXCEPT..my ergonmic keyboard (Miscrosoft.. Apple please make a good ergonomic keyboard) when I try to cut and paste using keyboard shortcuts gives me weird characters instead..

    That was a cut and paste....
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hey, same here. I'm having trouble using keyboard shortcuts in Firefox and other programs. Wondering if this has to do with the update to 10.5.6. Thanks.

  • Typing backwards/​weird characters​??

    A friend of mine JUST got a replacement BBerry Curve 8330 (US Cellular) after her last one bit the dust. She got it two days ago, and from the get-go, when she types, particularly in Blackberry Messenger, it types the words backwards and changes the letters to weird characters. It doesn't do it all the time. She brought it over and I updated the software for her, and we did a battery pull, but it didn't fix it.
    Here is an example of what is coming out:
    DâÉr   (read)
    gníCàlpéR   (replacing)
    ??ÈñOh¶   (phone)
    ðlÚOW   (would)
    ??þí »çÙf   (F* it)
    US Cellular won't help her. Any suggestions?

    Check the language settings at Options > Language, and the Language Input there.

  • Inspector Adjustments HUD show weird characters

    My Aperture Version 3.2.1 all of a sudden shows weird characters in my inspector adjustments HUD. I.e. Instead of CropOperations I now read DGCrop Operations and the likes. It's ever more weired in the full screen retouch adjustments panel. There one can read wordings such as DGGNGSmoothing Operation and other crazy nomenclature.
    The first time I experienced that I completely deinstalled my current Aperture version and reinstalled a fresh copy. Everything was fine for a day or two. However last night it came back out of the blue.
    Does anyone have an idea what's happening here.
    See these screenshots for better explanation of this problem. Thanks.

    Do you perhaps have two Aperture installions - the old one with weird menus and the new installation, freshly installed from the App Store? Search with Spotlight for "Aperture". Your most recent Apterure should be the one installed in "Applications"; is the one you deleted still sitting in the Trash?
    After force-quitting the new Aperture and opening again your Aperture Library could still be set to be opened with the older Aperture Version, if that were still there.
    Where is that DGGNG string coming from?
    searching with locate from the Terminal I found the string inside the Aperture.app package (and the iPhoto.app), as part of the localization strings of the "Geode.framework"
    % locate DGGNG
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGBlurOperation.strings
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGBurnOperation.strings
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGContrastOperation.strings
    /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resour ces/English.lproj/DGGNGMultiplyOperation.strings
    /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resource s/English.lproj/DGGNGTintOperation.strings
    /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/A/Resource s/English.lproj/DGGNGVibrancyOperation.strings
    If I look inside these localization files with XCode, I see the correct description of these effects:
    %open -aXCode /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/Frameworks/Geode.framework/Versions/
    A/Resources/English.lproj/DGGNGMultiplyOperation.strings
    /* Interface */
    DGGNGMultiplyOperation = "Polarize";
    DGGNGMultiplyOperationLong = "Polarize (Multiply)";
    inputIntensity = "Intensity";
    inputIntensityTooltip = "The amount of polarization effect applied to the area brushed on the image";
    For some strange reason your Aperture seems to use the filename of the localization file instead of the strings defined inside the file? Are maybe the correct localization files missing in your Aperture version? Which country have you set in the "Language and Text" preference pane of the System Preferences? I did not see a localization file for "british english", eg.
