Hi,
I've got a possible font problem with a fully updated CentOS 7 system.
An example with the man command.
#man kill
Should return the following
KILL(1) User Commands KILL(1)
NAME
kill - terminate a process
SYNOPSIS
kill [-s signal|-p] [-q sigval] [-a] [--] pid...
kill -l [signal]
but what I actually get is the following
KILL(1) User Commands KILL(1)
kill - terminate a process
[ signal| ] [ sigval] [ ] [ ] pid...
[signal]
Notice the missing text.
If I select the text and paste it into an editor I see the missing
text. So it's there just not displaying on the screen.
I also notice the effect with links embedded in e-mails. I use
evolution. Embedded links do not appear in the e-mail but if I hover
over a link location then it appears in the text box at the bottom of
the page and I can select it.
I suspect I'm missing some common font(s).
Any ideas.
Regards,
Tony

This is caused by the colour profile settings in your terminal program (gnome-terminal, mate-terminal, whatever). Edit-Prefrences-Colors I generally just check "use colors from system theme" but I suppose that would depend on what you're using for a system theme. But the setting you need to fix is under Text and Background Color.

What terminal emulator are you using? Assuming it's gnome-terminal (the default), what is the output of the commands gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name and fc-match monospace ?

It was a setting in the terminal preferences settings which I had unticked. So now for the e-mail problem. This I assume is also a preferences problem with either my theme selection or with evoloution itself. Thanks for the reply, Tony -- Tony Molloy <tony.molloy at ul.ie> Home
