I posted some information in bug #622082 but I made it a duplicate of this.
The "funny characters in a cube" printed are Unicode characters. Specifically, Unicode Shavian characters - an alternative method of displaying the English language, invented by George Bernard Shaw. I ran gnome-language-selector, switched my language to Spanish (from Spain), restarted Gnome and the bad toolbar went away, the proper Spanish characters were displayed in yelp. So this is a problem that those with a Spanish language environment are not having, but those with an English environment are having. I should note that I only chose Spanish as I understand a little of it, I'm sure other languages are functioning. The problem is English is being displayed in a Shavian mode instead of as en_US or en_GB or the like. In fact, it's not even being displayed in Shavian mode - most systems don't have the Shavian characters installed, so it just comes out as Unicode numbers in a box gibberish. -- Help contents title bar shows cubes with numbers instead of a proper title https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/605577 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
