HI there

I had to redo my computer , decided to go bleeding edge and after installing the latest packages
my Openerp looks strange and the icons are wrong ..
They do display right on my other Linux and windows boxes .. seems like a font problem
I might be wrong and some advice would be appreciated

I attached 2 screen shots one with what it looked like before update on one after ..

I have been running openerp successfully on Slackware for 2 years now , first problem ever encountered

Its the icons on the right of messages in openerp

Thank you
Lawrence

I've noticed the same issue that you have on a few websites (GitHub for example) since the latest movement in current. I believe it is down to the changes in /etc/fonts but I've been too busy to find the exact source of the problem.

I had a look around and found this, that links to many other bug reports.
seems fontconfig-2.10.92 is a little broken, and upgrading to 2.10.93 solves: I tried it here (with the official slackbuild and the new tarball, no modifications needed) and after the upgrade fonts on github are displaying ok.

Grabbing now... apologies for the unstable fontconfig, but something (stable!) in the GTK stack wouldn't build without that. I considered installing the unstable fontconfig only long enough to compile the other thing (whatever that was, again), but that seemed even more dangerous when I thought about it some more.

ah, for me no prob at all: it seems world + dog is using the unstable version so at least it should be a little tested (the tons of bug reports testify for this)

To volkerdi

, ponce and bosth thanks guys

This forum is always great and informative

Upgrading to 2.10.93 sorted the problem ..

Marking as SOLVED ..

hiya,
So, is a fontconfig 2.10.93 package upcoming, or I better work on making one on my own?

UPDATE: well, I made my own anyway hehe
