Description Jude Ashvin Lobo Shenoy 2015-04-11 20:23:30 CEST
As seen in the attachment showing the Network Statistics box under Network Center, we can see some weird fonts in the white box showing circular graphs.

You can reproduce them by going to network center then clicking on the available connection and selecting the monitor button which then opens another box called network monitor and here we find a long strip labeled show detailed network statistics. Click on this strip then you will find the first radio button selected. Select the second radio button then again select the first one to see the weird fonts.

I'll assign this to the maintainer, but I'd probably mark it as INVALID.  I don't see any "weird" fonts.  It's just whatever font the tool it uses to generate those graphical reports uses.

Hi Ashvin,

I don't see any weird fonts here on Mageia 5 Cauldron x86-64 on XFCE after I follow your reproduction recipe after running net_monitor. Can you provide more details for why it may happen?

Regards,

Hi Shlomi,

Frankly speaking i have no idea as to why i get to see these weird font. I have attached a new snapshot with circles drawn round the fonts. Am on Mageia 5 KDE cauldron.

Regards,
Ashvin

Ahh, I see.  Not a weird font, but weird characters.

Weird characters in vnstat cmd - M5

As can be seen in the attached snapshot, vnstat cmd has some weird charcters and at the same time network monitor does not display dates save for a _|_ sign.

Please don't use OpenDocument Text to give me the output (especially without proper linebreaks).

Just do from the command line:

    printenv > my_env.txt

And upload my_env.txt.

In the future perhaps look into this - http://www.mcsr.olemiss.edu/unixhelp/ .

This report saw no action since 6 years ago, therefore closing as OLD

If this issue is still valid in current cauldron or Mageia 8, then please do 

  printenv > my_env.txt

reopen this report and attach my_env.txt to it.
