You will get a text file that you can read properly, and even change the font if you want to. If you want to be able to use gedit to alter root owned files, there are two ways (other than logging in as root at the command line) that you can achieve this: 1. Open a root terminal by your preferred method, at the command prompt type gedit. gedit will then be running as root. 2.do alt-F2. in the window taht will open up type : gksu gedit then "enter" Again, gedit will be running as root.
