KONQUEROR: garbage characters displayed

KONQUEROR: garbage characters displayed

Post by Mike Smit » Tue, 01 Oct 2002 19:00:01



Hi,
as a newbie Linux & Konq user, I'd appreciate some assistance from the
collective with the following problem.

"some" pages displayed by Konqueror contain nothing but garbage characters
(squares, daggers and other funny stuff). Other pages display just fine.

This started about a week ago. What was I changing at the time? Well, a ton
of stuff to get my HP660C working (hpijs, ghostscript etc etc), but nothing
that I can immediately relate to Konqueror.

Mozilla works fine.

Details are::
RH7.2, kernel 2.4.19
Konqueror 2.2.1 KDE 2.2-11
A page that displays garbage http://www.btopenworld.com/broadband/pro30

Any help appreciated!

You could upgrade to KDE 3.0.3. I've got that, and the URL you provided
displays fine.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I'm a bit reluctant to go the KDE 3.0.3 route
due to the shed-load of RPMs involved (assuming I looked at the right URL?)

ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/kde/stable/3.0.3/RedHat/7.3/i386

My current version of Konq used to work fine until I did something to it!

I'm sure everyone elses web browser will display that page OK too. Its just
me with a screwed up file association, or missing font or ??? thats the
problem.

Is it possible for me to re-install the version of Konqueror that I already
have to get back to a "clean" state? (please remember my newbie status so
if the answer is "yes" details of how to do this would also be welcome!)

Thanks again....

Hi
I also see the same problem with konqueror showing garbage characters. I
am running KDE 3.0.3 and for some reason I still see the problem. Can u
please tell me what I can do to fix the problem? I don't see the same
problem in Mozilla.

I really appreciate your help
SIncerely
Mukund

1. Console line drawing characters display garbage

Just upgraded to Redhat 6.2 (just before 7.0 comes out.  figures...)  
Everything is working fine except that console menuing programs like
sndconfig that try to display pretty boxes on the console display garbage.
It happens on two different CPU's with two different graphics cards using
the same hard disk, but doesn't happen on another machine where 6.2 was
installed on a different hard disk.  Clearly I have set up something wrong
somewhere, but I can't figure out what it is.

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
