[SOLVED]Xfce4 not displaying any characters.

I got this weird problem with xfce4.
I have an old machine I want to use as a bittorrent client. For this I want to use xfce4 (with azureus).
So now that I've installed xfce4 none of the characters on the screen are shown correctly. They're all just squares?
Thinking I had a font problem, I started going through all my installed fonts, and even installing some extra fonts. None of it helped.
I'm not sure if it is related to the problem, but when I kill X.org there are some messages in the console. They look like this one:
Pango-WARNING **: pango_cairo_font_get_scaled_font called with bad font, expect ugly output.
I've also been trying different settings for the locale, thinking it might be a localization problem. That didn't help either.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
If there are any config or log files you would like to see, just let me know.
EDIT:
Nevermind. It never stops to amaze me how incredibly stupid I can be.
Pango of course needs the sdl_pango package to function properly! Of course I was under the impression that all dependencies were handled automatically?
Have a nice New Years Eve everyone.

I know that this font works because I tried it in urxvt and it displayed correctly.
Also, I tried "override_utf8_locale yes" and it still was incorrect.

[SOLVED] Conky Not Displaying Unicode Characters Correctly

I have some music that requires unicode characters in order to be displayed properly. The artist name is Röyksopp, but it is displayed like this:
http://i.imgur.com/rRBDxZn.png
Does anyone know how to either make it display correctly (Röyksopp), or at least remove the umlauts to make it almost correct(Royksopp)? I've set the locale, so it displays correctly in both i3bar and urxvt, but it had no effect on conky.
EDIT: Here is my conkyrc.

Dynamic Text Field is not displaying foreign characters... HELP!

I have a dynamic text field that is not displaying foreign characters properly. They appear as boxes.
Here's what I've tried.
Under properties for the text field, I clicked on the embed characters button. In there, I pasted all the special characters I would need and clicked okay. Shouldn't this be enough for the text to display properly? What am I missing? Please help...

More info: I'm noticing that in the actual dynamic text field in my .FLA file, if I type a foreign character like é, it pops up as a block. My family font is set to New Caledonia... is it possible that New Caledonia doesn't have those particular glyphs? The thing that doesn't make sense to me though is, last year when I made this card, it worked fine with New Caledonia... Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Aperture 3 project does not display any images in one Project

This is a strange situation. The bullets below outline the situation:
The project does not display any images
When I place the pointer over the project it shows there are 500+ images
I have located the RAW images stored in my aperture library
I can pull up the images using a smart folder and searching for photos taken on the event day
This is happening only to one of my projects that I know of (weird!!)
I have tried to 're-add' the image by both importing and dragging and dropping into the project, neither works
I tried the following basics:
Fixed permissions
Rebuilt the database
Tried to re-import the data, but when I have the 'don't import duplicates' these are not an option
Found the images in my Aperture library
I created another project and drug all of the images into that project
Any idea how I can fix this?
My fear is that if I delete the original project, the original master images will be deleted.

The most common cause of this is some sort of stuff in the search box at the top of the browser that you don't expect to be there. Just clear it and all your images should show up.
RB
One note - if you drug your images from one project to another it moves them vs copies them unless you hold down the option key.

Product Revenue Bookings and Backlog Dashboard does not display any data

Product Revenue Bookings and Backlog Dashboard does not display any data even though the load completed successfully.
They are able to see just the parameters.
Not sure if the upgrade of the database from 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.0.3 is a factor.
What can I check?
Is there some table to verify that the data exists for display in the Product Revenue Bookings and Backlog Dashboard?
Screenshot is at:
https://gtcr.oracle.com/gtcr-dir/gtcr_5637/6415786.993/Product_Revenue_Bookings_Backlog_Dashboard.doc
Support suggested to create a new request set and run the initial load with load all summaries option; but there was no change in the Product Revenue Bookings and Backlog Dashboard.
Any ideas?

hi
We have faced the similar problem after the upgrade to 10G
What we did was
Ran the initial load of time dimension, Item setup request set, and the request set of all the dash board in the clear and initial load mode..
we were able to get the data once the clear and load is completed successfully

MAX will not display any installed modules mounted to cRIO-9074 chassis WinXP SP3 LV2010 developer

MAX will not display any installed modules mounted to cRIO-9074 chassis WinXP SP3 LV2010 Developer Suite.
I can see the backplane in MAX and Project explorer but none of the modules show up for configuration in the drop down lists. The LV was just installed on the PC with RT/FPGA/Sound and Vibration. I have Admin and am accessing through a PCMCIA Ethernet card. I have to disable normal wireless Ethernet just to see the cRIO unit at all.

Well, you actually won't be able to see the C-series modules for a cRIO in MAX. Take a look at this KnowledgeBase article for a little more information.
As far as not being able to see them in the Project explorer, are you trying to run in FPGA or Scan Interface? If you're using the FPGA Interface, you'll have to make sure to expand the FPGA Target tree in the Project explorer to see these modules.

Thank you for your replay.
I face the same trouble with JavaFX
I report this problem into Jira and filed as RT-22641
Some members of Oracle developer team write comments for this issue.

This font has some irreguler structure.
I hope Java font system will deal with it.

Oracle Apps adapter not displaying any Business Events

Hello
We have configured a Business Event in Oracle ebs R12 instance. Now we are trying to configure Oracle Apps Adapter in Oracle Jdeveloper. The version is 11.1.1.3.
The apps adapter wizard; after connecting to the ebs instance; does not display any tables/Business events.
The connection to the ebs instance is done by a normal user i.e. 'apps' user credentials are not used. We are not provided with 'apps' user credentials due to security reasons. We need help in figuring out the privileges that shld be granted to the 'normal' user so that we can browse and select the Business event in Jdeveloper and also the apps adapter can create the subscriptions and queues successfully in ebs.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated...
Thanks

Hi Ruplim,
I am new to this topic and dont really know how to go about this. So can i assume from your post that the oracle apps adapter can subscribe to an event in EBS. If yes, can you tell me how i can do this?
Thanks
