[SOLVED] Sublime Text shows nothing in any file.

crypt1711 · 2020-05-29 16:15:03

Hi,
Since about an hour ago my sublime has stopped showing any characters in any file I open.
When I do a select all using

 CTRL+A

it highlights all the characters in the file but everything is blank.
I've reinstalled sublime thrice, removed the config files and reinstalled as well.
I can't even edit any preferences since that is shown empty as well.
I couldn't find anythind related to this.
This is a simple bash file, no text is visible. It's the same case for any file I open.

Hi,
There's one update on this. I tried out other text editors. And I found that any text editor which has gtk3 as it's dependeny is giving weord results.
One such is l3afpad.

I still don't know what the issue is, I tried downgrading gtk3 package and it didn't work.

This is the console output when I run l3afpad, but these are mostly warnings related to theme parsing errors.

The second screenshot is because pango dropped support for bitmap fonts couple of months ago. If this hit you *now* you either need to update more often or you're not actually using archlinux but some derivate.

crypt1711 · 2020-05-31 15:55:52

I update pretty regularly, once in every 3-4 days. The issue with sublime happened on 29th of May, and I had updated just a few hours before the issue, I restarted my laptop once and since then it has been happening. I only installed l3afpad last night. The same thing happens with geany as well. Deepin-editor, Atom and VS code are working fine. Also, I am using archlinux not any derivative. I just have deepin-desktop enviroment on top.

What exact font do you use in l3afpad and does dejavu sans mono work?

crypt1711 · 2020-05-31 17:02:11

Oh, thanks. Yeah dejavu sans mono works. When I went through the font list it had a lot of fonts whose characters even names looked same as the ones in the image. But there were also other fonts which were perfectly shown. I fixed the whole thing finally after changing the default Font from control settings. Sublime Issue is also solved now.
Thank you very much.
