From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Description of problem: After upgrading from 7.2 to 7.3, konsole no longer displays the correct line drawing characters, like boxes and borders, for fullscreen apps such as mc, iptraf, and ntsysv. I've got the same result on 2 different machines. It worked before the upgrade but not immediately after, and with no other changes. No settings within konsole seem to fix. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # konsole -v Qt: 3.0.3 KDE: 3.0.0-10 Konsole: 1.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run konsole by clicking the shell button on kde default panel 2. Enter mc, iptraf or ntsysv Actual Results: What are normally line drawing or box characters are now jibberish. Other text characters appear normal. Expected Results: I wanted to see the normal lines used to make borders and boxes the way it worked before I upgraded to 7.3. This worked fine in 7.2. Additional info: Running mc -a works, but that option disables the use of graphic characters for line drawing. Iptraf and ntsysv as well as other apps do not have that option. I also use konsole to connect to AIX, which needs the line drawing as well. It use to work too. I've run the following command on a rh7.2 system that works right, and a rh7.3 system that was upgraded and the output is the same on both: # chkfontpath --list Current directories in font path: 1: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled 2: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled 3: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled 4: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc 5: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1 6: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo 7: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic 8: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/CID 9: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local 10: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/Type1 11: /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType 12: /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1 13: /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts 14: /usr/share/fonts/ja/TrueType
It turns out this only happens when accessing via MS Windows using Exceed 7.1.0.0 and not at the KDE physical console via startx. So, what changed from 7.2 to 7.3 that would cause this? I can connect via Exceed to a 7.2 box just fine. Thanks
This bug is reported against old release of Red Hat Linux or Fedora Core that is no longer supported. Chances are that it has been already fixed in newer Fedora Core release. If you still experience the problem with current release of Fedora Core, please update the Version field (you may need to switch Product to Fedora Core first) in the bug report and put it back to NEW state.
Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
