Build Identifier: M20110210-1200 Hello, I have recently installed, Kubuntu 11.04 on my machine and installed eclipse version 3.6.2. I see most of the java code after ".", being displayed as square boxes instead of proper characters. has anybody else faced teh same problem? I have screenshot, what would be the way to share it with forum? thanks and regards -Nitin Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a java project 2. Write some java code in which Classvariable.member or Classvariable.method is used. 3.
Created attachment 202453 [details] Snapshot of how the code looks in eclipse
Off the top of my head I'd guess you don't have the correct font installed but I don't see how it's displaying _some_ characters and not others. I'm going to take a guess at the correct component here. Sorry if this is incorrect, Platform UI committers :)
Do you only have this problem with Java editors? What if you copy/paste the file into a regular .txt file and open it with the text editor? What happens?
if I had to guess, I'd say your font doesn't "do" Italics. (note: this is not the Nitin that reported this bug)
Yes, squares always mean you're using a font which isn't able to render those characters. This mean in 99% of the case you need to switch the font and in 1% you have an encoding issue.
