Hi, Magic has happened with this bug. I have been piecewise installing pkgs on a new VM with fc33 installed... in an attempt to find one (or more) that caused this problem. I happened to use virt-manager just now on my host which first exhibited the problem and (here comes the magic) IT WORKED... without problems. I'm now a believer in magic. :-) I just closed the bug on bugzilla.redhat.com for this problem. Fixed by nobody I guess. Sigh. Anyway... THANKS to all who gave your precious time and energy who helped with this mystery. George...

Hi George! When you say "the text", *which* text exactly do you mean? Text in the virt-manager app itself? Text in the VMs? "Tiny boxes with numbers" in them are usually indicating a character which the font rendering engine cannot find a font with a representation of. The numbers are the character's Unicode code point. This can happen if the characters are in an alphabet you don't have a font for, or if they're some kind of symbol set you don't have a font for. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
