I use GDM as my login manger.
I type my user name which appears as per normal, then entering the password things go wrong insteand of * I get what looks like a super script 5 above a subscript 0.
After loggin in KDE works fine but Gnome fonts are all in the above described form. All headings, titles of icons everything it is like it is trying to hide all my text as password text.
Therefore Gnome is unusable, I am sure this happened after an update but as for which one I am not sure.
Would it be worth trying to find if there have been any font pckages that I have installed updated recently? and rolling back the update.
