Hello:
I have a simple plain text document that contains the following
symbols:
• − ⋆ ▷ ∘ ◯ ◯ □
In trinity applications (eg kwrite) they are not shown correctly.
Instead of the
symbols squares are shown. Libreoffice shows the symbols correctly.
On another machine which has legacy KDE 3.5.10 the symbols are also
shown correctly
in kwrite.
Whys is this and how can I fix it?
I use trinity 14.0.4 in openSUSE 13.2 64 bit.
Thanks,
Istvan

I would check the font that I use. Even if it is UTF, the font may not have
those symbols in it. You can test this with kcharselect.
If you are talking about file not in utf, you may want to convert to utf
first.

Have you checked your locale or the encoding used to visualize the document?
Usually when you see strange characters, it
is a problem of wrong character encoding, this regardless of which OS or DE you use.

I have noticed the same thing. For me, it happened after an upgrade from
Ubuntu Precise to Ubuntu Trusty, so it's possible there is an issue with a
newer version of an underlying system library.
Can you file a bug report on this?
Thanks!

Interesting. The symbols show up fine when reading your email, but not
when composing a reply. They also show up fine when pasted into
Kate/KWrite, but not when I save them to a file. The problem for me is
that I am not using utf8 encoding. If I switch KWrite Tools > Encoding
to utf8, all is well.

They did NOT show up fine in the OP.
But, they DID in Tim's reply.
And, they did NOT in your (and this) reply.
It's a messy world out there.

What is the reason for not using utf8? IMO unless you are using a limited
8bit machine, you should take advantage of utf8.

Please do not involve encoding setup issues into the problem I

about. Certainly if you set your character encoding different the
characters
won't look right. In my case the file was saved in utf8 and open in
utf8 mode.
Even the display fonts are the same. In legacy KDE 3.5.10 the symbols
look righth, in TDE 14.04 they don't.

Thanks for clarifying. FWIW, the symbols look fine in TDE 14.04 on
Raspbian Jessie.

New subject: r14-xdg-update follies
Recently, when logging into my main ID on my new desktop system, I get several messages
about something called r14-xdg-update. The text of the first one is
The r14-xdg-update script has been run at least once.
The script is not successfully updating.
The script will run with each login until corrected.
Please contact an administrator or take appropriate administrative action to correct the
problem.
The error code is 9.
Searching the list archive, I found a few references to this script, but little useful
information about it aside from the information that error code 9 has something to do with
file privileges. There seems to be nothing in the documentation about this script, which
seems to perform some sort of updates to the Trinity configuration. From the effects that
it has had on my system, I would say that there needs to be something written up and
placed into the user doecumentation about this. So far it has wiped out my desktop
settings and recently it made all of my kmail (configuration, folders and contents)
disappear.
What do I need to do to fix this? I'm afraid to log into any of my secondary IDs for
fear that they will be corrupted as well. The vague description of error code 9 gives me
little to go on. What file privileges need to be set, for what files or directories?
What exactly is r14-xdg-update trying to do?
