Hi,
I've been using ubuntu and derivatives for some years but am very low on the learning curve none-the-less.
I recently found some email messages and documents opening as a series of squares and suspect the font settings. I downloaded and installed apple fonts (already have ms fonts) to try and fix this but it hasn't.
Perhaps it is something obvious. but documents I have made in the past are not displaying correctly in leafpad. If I change the font to wingdings or some others it reads in the preview but Times New Roman and other common fonts dont.
I resoved the issue in my email by unchecking the allow messages to use other fonts box in advanced display settings of thunderbird.
I've never fully understood what character encoding is but wonder if it is that. The problem is that I dont see a system wide setting for that.
