After I've reinstalled my system I'm seeing squares instead of some text (or emojis) in browsers.
Here's a sample view of outlook in brave browser:
I suppose it has something to do with locales/encoding, but I'm not sure how to fix this.
I've tried sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales but it didn't seem to have helped.
This is the output of locale command:
LANG=en_US.utf8
LANGUAGE=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL=en_US.utf8
And the fonts that are set in ubuntu gnome tweaks settings:
UPD:
As I noticed this only happens on some pages. I suppose it has to do with how a particular page renders text into an emoji? Still not sure how to fix this though.
Just in case someone has the same issue will post a solution I've found so far.
In essence I've narrowed it down to a problem with fonts since locale and encoding seems fine.
After installing ttf-ancient-fonts and ttf-ancient-fonts-symbola with apt:
So this is an improvement. Still I'm wondering what font I had previously that is missing now, since before the emojis were colored.

I go to :
and install :
with these settings :
and have no idea why hex is not my SBT3 still not display as its color form. 😥
I've also tried : CSS
Reboot the IDE & even reboot the Mac OS X ... still not working.
Did I forgot to turn on some settings?
Can someone please help me ?
Edit
ColorHelper works on the first try, right after install. Huge thanks to : #MattDMo
... but I am still curious if someone really knows what I did wrong.
Over the past few years I began having more and more problems with the different color highlighting packages available for Sublime, including Color Highlighter, which hasn't been updated in at least 3 years, and Color Highlight at 2½ years. Someone recommended ColorHelper, and I've been happy with it ever since. Make sure you completely uninstall Color Highlighter and/or Color Highlight first, as I think I had issues with it before I did that. ColorHelper is in regular development with the release of the new v3, which apparently is a complete rewrite, and is easy to set up and use out of the box. There are a ton of customization options if you want to get into the weeds, and the author has been very responsive with some config issues I had recently. I would highly recommend it.
I noticed that Emojis like 😀 are not displayed in gvim on my system but they are in terminal vim if that is used in an xterm or konsole. And yes I tried many guifonts capable of displaying them (noto mono, noto color emoji, hack). I also noticed that vim in gnome-terminal doesn't display them either (although using the same fonts in it as in the other terminals). In fact I haven't found a single gnome(?) or gtk(?) application that displays them - not even when I use a gnome X-session. On the other hand no kde app has problems with them. Searching the web I got the impression that, e.g. gnome-terminal should have been able to display emojis for quite some time now. As I use a rolling distribution (openSuse tumbleweed) my software should be pretty recent. So what am I missing? Is there a specific package I need to handle emojis in gtk?
Update
I created test user on my system with default settings. To my big surprise if I log on to the X-system as that user emojis are displayed just fine in gvim. So it must be a configuration issue. Then I went back and logged into my normal account, used su testuser and then opened gvim. I could still see the emojis. I don't want to reset my configuration as I put a lot of effort to have the system behave the way I like it to. But I am at a loss in finding the responsible setting. Any ideas?
Finally, I found the culprit and wanted to share my insight here so that others with similar problems know where to look. In ~/.config/fontconfig/ there were three files I did not put there myself. I guess they were leftovers from some configuration tool. Using a rolling release distribution there are probably many orphaned files in my ~/.config directory. Anyway, after deleting those files and logging out and back on I can now see emojis in gvim etc.
Help.
I cannot view code samples in stackoverflow. I am running ubuntu 14.04 and mozilla firefox. Even as I am typing this, I cannot see what I am typing in the body box, allthough I can see the preview output. There seems to be an issue with my linux fonts installation, probably not a browser issue.
Could someone tell me which font the code samples use, as this will help me investigate further.
Apologies for the bad format of this post. It is difficult when you can't see what you are typing.
Thanks in advance.
Looks like the issue relates to mozilla firefox. The Fonts are appearing in chrome.
Update: the problem was resolved by reinstalling firefox.
I have installed Plymouth on ArchLinux. And have done everything according the documentation. The problem is that the displayed splash, is not the theme I have set, In fact I couldn't find it in any of the themes in /usr/share/plymouth/themes! A gray screen is shown, with three white squares that toggle on and off one after each other. I can guess that this is a fallback theme, but I have set the default theme. What is the problem? Any hint is appreciated. I am using grub2 as bootloader.
As I had guessed this was a fallback theme. And as no one gave me a better answer all this while, I give my solution for this problem. It seems like something was broken in the changes that I had made, and I think it was in plymouth's own created files and not the config files. I uninstalled the plymouth, then deleted all the configuration files in the etc folder, and then reinstalled it again. All the files that I had deleted were created again, and everything was working. This time when I applied the modification things got working this time.
I've built qt 4.7.4 on ubuntu and my application fonts look terrible. I used qtconfig to try and make the font more pleasing to the eye, but most look really bad (not aliased, and the list of fonts appears incomplete; e.g the clearlooks font in gnome uses "sans", but this doesn't appear in the list of available fonts in qtconfig).
However, if I install qtconfig-qt4 using aptitude, the fonts rendered in that application look great and there are loads more fonts available. The settings however are not applied to my qt applications.
I have no idea where qtconfig is picking up the font settings it makes available nor where it is saving the settings. The qt docs don't seem to help as far as I can see.
If someone could help me with either setting up the qtconfig in my install (maybe I need to configure with some different options - I used -debug-and-release -fast -qt-libtiff -no-webkit ?) or getting my apps to pick up the qtconfig-qt4 settings I would be most grateful! I would prefer the former!
Cheers!
Had a similar issue where qtconfig doesn't seem to be picking up the system fonts. Found some settings in kubuntu under appearance - fonts where I changed "use anti-aliasing" to enabled (from system) and then when configured I enabled "use sub-pixel rendering".
I think this gets stored in a file ~/.fonts.conf.
Still haven't figured out how to get all the fonts to appear in qtconfig though.
