I have a problem with Fedora 9 - if I type in X, whether it is in a firefox window, a gaim window, an xterm, a gnome-terminal, a gvim window, it will randomly switch to some Unicode part of the character set. The text is still legible, however it is rendered wrong (with unnecessary space after each character). Besides being hard to read, it makes it impossible to program, and impossible to guarantee that the recipient of a message will have the ability to properly view the text. I have found no way to switch back, however on occasion it will do so randomly. It resets back to normal if I close and re-open the window. Typing in a browser window is a simply terrible idea. I have taken to typing in a gvim window, and restarting gvim when the keyboard input switches. I have found no way to convert the text to the proper part of the character set, and cut-n-paste preserves the problem. I've also mitigated it somewhat by only using windows, not tabs, with firefox. The real mistake was using Fedora 9 in the first place, but I had no idea how bad it would be - between problems like this that are impossible to troubleshoot, and an X server that won't listen on TCP without me making source changes. While the quality of Fedora 9 has made it clear to me that I should never use Fedora again, I still am stuck using it for a few days.
