I have a problem with Fedora 9 - if I type in X, whether it is in a firefox window, a gaim window, an xterm, a gnome-terminal, a gvim window, it will randomly switch to some Unicode part of the character set. The text is still legible, however it is rendered wrong (with unnecessary space after each character). Besides being hard to read, it makes it impossible to program, and impossible to guarantee that the recipient of a message will have the ability to properly view the text. I have found no way to switch back, however on occasion it will do so randomly. It resets back to normal if I close and re-open the window. Typing in a browser window is a simply terrible idea. I have taken to typing in a gvim window, and restarting gvim when the keyboard input switches. I have found no way to convert the text to the proper part of the character set, and cut-n-paste preserves the problem. I've also mitigated it somewhat by only using windows, not tabs, with firefox. The real mistake was using Fedora 9 in the first place, but I had no idea how bad it would be - between problems like this that are impossible to troubleshoot, and an X server that won't listen on TCP without me making source changes. While the quality of Fedora 9 has made it clear to me that I should never use Fedora again, I still am stuck using it for a few days. This is how it looks after getting in that state. You see how much Iwas able to type until the problem reoccurred. And this time, I was lucky that it went back to normal quite quickly. A capital T is, in hex, ef bc b4. I'm disappointed that Fedora is becoming less usable with each release. At work we're a RedHat customer, and if Fedora is really the beta(or even alpha) test for RedHat, I'm quite concerned for the future of Linux in the enterprise. Still, I'm going to not personally worry about this, and switch to Ubuntu soon. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
