symbols visualize problem
by Istvan Gabor 06 Mar '17

06 Mar '17

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

Apparently in ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu If that is where those files are, running $ ls -lh ~/.config/menus/applications-tdemenuedit.menu/ will let you know if there is a permissions issue. They should be owned by you and have 644 permissions.
