Re: Possible Font problem with CentOS 7

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



This is caused by the colour profile settings in your terminal program (gnome-terminal, mate-terminal, whatever).

Edit-Prefrences-Colors

I generally just check "use colors from system theme" but I suppose that would depend on what you're using for a system theme.  But the setting you need to fix is under Text and Background Color.
