I'll wager a guess and say your FONT or LOCALE are messed up -- pertaining to UTF-8 and default Languages / Keymap codes you have installed...etc I think those 'numbers' instead of fonts is/are the UTF-8 representation in code of wghat the font should be (mapped to). I'm running Debian Sarge 3.1r2 (2.6.8-3-686) and have also recently installed Audacity to use -- and it works ;-) ...I was even able to do my first ever "Compile" (/.configure, make, make install) and install LAME just so I could tell Audacity where the 'libmp3lame.so' file was, so Audacity could Edit/Save/Export/Play in MP3 format. ;-) I dont have those (your) issues -- but I have many other ones :-( (GTK+ related during compilation). Post the output of; ~$ cat /etc/locale.gen en_US ISO-8859-1 Use; ~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales to alter what the system uses a default, and what's available Regards __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
