But it sounds like a missing font entry for me. There are quite a lot of colons in Unicode, for example U+FE13, U+FE55, U+FF1A. Some of them are newer entries, so it can well be that a particular font has no entry for the very character. |gtk3 port has been built by root with following settings: | |# locale |LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 |LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8" |LC_ALL= | |The user I'm running the GUI with has the same settings. | |The problem occurs in all applications which make use of the gtk3 |filechooser, e.g.: firefox, eclipse, gtk3-demo-application. | |If I change to LANG=de_DE in the running GUI the ":" is properly |displayed. But I'd like to keep the UTF-8 locale setting. So then this means LATIN1 / ISO-8859-1, i presume, meaning that the normal ASCII colon is chosen (U+003A). |Does anyone know how to fix this? I have no idea of current GTK, but if there is a possibility to specify the font used for the GUI, try to enter the colon characters as above, for example, in vim(1) (^V, u, four hex digits, e.g., ff1a), and if it is displayed (the example is not for me, for example, but as a square box), then it should be displayed in the GUI. If not, i do not know. |For applications with the gtk2 filechooser like "deadbeef" the problem |does not occur. | |Regards | |Markus Heinz Ciao, --steffen | |Der Kragenbaer, The moon bear, |der holt sich munter he cheerfully and one by one |einen nach dem anderen runter wa.ks himself off |(By Robert Gernhardt)
