GUI font replace by squared character

Hi Synfigers,

I just install the 1.4.4 to try basic animation but all the GUI font is replaced by squared. I am running a #!++ (Debian based) and found nothing on the forum.

Does anybody has an idea ?

Here an image

Thanks in advanced for your help.

Try to install the “Sans” font or change it to the one you want in your settings of GTK 3

github.com

synfig/synfig/blob/master/autobuild/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

[Settings]
gtk-theme-name=Adwaita
gtk-icon-theme-name=Adwaita
gtk-cursor-theme-name=Adwaita
gtk-button-images=1
gtk-xft-antialias=1
gtk-xft-rgba = rgb
gtk-font-name = Sans 8

It may be one of these (included in the package fonts-ubuntu, on ubuntu of course)

DejaVu: Serif, Sans, Mono.
Droid: Serif, Sans, Mono.
FreeFont: FreeSerif, FreeSans, FreeMono.
Liberation: Serif, Sans, Mono.
Noto: Sans, Serif, Mono.
Ubuntu: Sans, Mono.
