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
Greetings from Cork.
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
?
