Font Render problem

[Kniiiip (Knip)]

Thanks for the reply, but unfortunately I did already try it twice with different settings and it didn’t work.

I tried it once more just now to be sure, but after a reboot nothing has changed.

Would a clean install solve the problem? I would rather not, but I can’t really use this computer anyway with this problem.

I installed parrot sec kde version 4.9 today, and i have the same problem, I just made the following changes and the problem was solved:

applications > settings > system settings
and in system settings window:
on the “application style” settings i chose breeze for both GTK2 and GTK3 themes, and i chose the “dejavu serif” for font.
Also for icon themes i selected breeze too.

I had the same problem, what worked for me is getting all my updates complete first, and setting everything display wise to default and rebooting the system. It may take time but eventually worked out. Here is the link to the thread:

Boxes shown instead of regluar characters!?

Running Parrot KDE w/tools latest release. Everything up to date. Daily driver. Mostly used for hackthebox and tryhackme. When I log in for root terminal “upon being prompted” and or uploading files to browser the characters are all these boxes as shown in the screen shot instead of, of course the letters and words that should appear there. Can anyone shed some light on this? i’ve only been using linux for about 7 months now and honestly haven’t learned as much as i should. [wtfishappening]

The kernel version I am running is Parrot 5.5.17
