I don't know when locale became more fussy, but fixing that dash to an underscore fixes the issue with locale: # locale LANG=en_GB.utf8 LC_CTYPE="en_GB.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.utf8" LC_TIME="en_GB.utf8" LC_COLLATE="en_GB.utf8" LC_MONETARY="en_GB.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.utf8" LC_PAPER="en_GB.utf8" LC_NAME="en_GB.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="en_GB.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_GB.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_GB.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_GB.utf8" LC_ALL= ...and after restarting my X session, the rendering issues have gone away. *Thanks* everyone involved. I guess the system had been tolerating that incorrect LANG setting in /etc/locale.conf for some time, and an update finally triggered the issue. I definitely didn't touch the file, so I guess some code somewhere decided to be less tolerant. Ultimately my own fault, of course! I'm pretty embarrassed that I hadn't checked it carefully enough! Thanks again to all! Paul
