Created attachment 717456 [details] gnome-initial-setup-input-sources-question-marks-when-selecting-input-source.png - Install Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso in qemu. Commandline used for qemu was: ionice -c 3 qemu-kvm -enable-kvm -m 2048M -smp 1 -drive file=./Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2,index=0,media=disk,cache=unsafe -localtime -serial file:/tmp/qemu-Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2-output.log -name Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2 -cdrom /local/mfabian/iso/Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2/Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso -boot c -vga std -display vnc=:4 -net nic -net user,hostname=Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD.iso.qcow2,hostfwd=tcp::5560-:22 -monitor stdio -usb - Select Japanese - Select to install on whole disk - Select Timezone - Select default Gnome install - continue with installation after the first reboot, gnome-initial-setup shows up After selecting the language there, on can add input sources. The list of input sources is initially empty, I think there should be a keyboard and a Japanese input method already by default. When trying to add an input source, all non-ASCII stuff in the names of the input sources is displayed as question marks. Makes it hard to select an input source. See attached screen shot.
Similarly if I chose German in gnome-initial-setup I see question marks instead of German umlauts in gnome-initial-setup's list of input sources. It looks like some kind of text encoding corruption anyway.
I guess this is because the process is running in “C” locale: [root@Fedora-19-Alpha-TC2-x86_64-DVD ~]# ps aux | grep initial gnome-i+ 747 0.0 0.6 640376 13104 ?

Problem is still there on Fedora-19-Alpha-TC3-x86_64-DVD.iso
Problem is still there on edora-19-Alpha-TC4-x86_64-netinst.iso
I did a TC4 Live install with anaconda-19.16 and did not see any question marks I think today.
Strange, I still see the question marks, I wonder how anaconda could influence that.
Well it might be Live vs non-Live. I also see question marks again today after TC5 net install.
(In reply to comment #7) > Well it might be Live vs non-Live. Yes I tried Live TC5 and do not see any question marks. So seems after Live install gnome-initial-setup runs in utf8 but not for non-Live installs. (coincidently vconsole also seems to be in unicode mode).
