Re: Broken font

Make sure your system is completely updated (new builds and updates) using a terminal, virtual terminal, or console.

I never use tazpanel packages to update because error messages required to troubleshoot a broken system after updates are hidden.

After removing /etc/pango/pango.modules my system had missing font replaced with squares like your picture.

To restore the font I ran tazpkg reconfigure pango in terminal which recreates /etc/pango/pango.modules using pango-query-modules and rebooted.

Many thanks, Mojo. It works now again. I'm very happy about your help!

You are a very big profi and indispensable for the Slitaz Community, all your posts are very helpful! From first time, if I start with Slitaz, I followed your instructions and at last was running, always.

Re: Broken font

Here a short descrition, if somebody else have same problem:

- system booting to the desktop as seen in picture above, with the square font

- you can change to console with Strg+Alt+F6 and login with root or tux

- if with root start now: tazpkg upgrade

- after that: tazpkg reconfigure pango (as Mojo written)

- and reboot
