Strange characters in chromium.

I have a fresh install on my laptop and chromium titlebar tab names are a mess.

Any idea?

Re: Strange characters in chromium.

Don't know exactly, is there a Hungarian language pack or the like for it? Is your system UTF-8? Did you install fonts that include extended Latin characters?
Maybe reboot at first, update your font cache ...

Good call, but no...
My locale is en_US.UTF8 and the language pack is installed for kde.
rebooted updated the font cache the issue is the same.

The hungarian alphabet is almost the same as the latin but we have some strange wowels öőüű. If these wowels are missing from the font set, then these characters are not show up in the output.

when i am typing into the addres bar i get gibberish output(in the address bar), but the page shows up. The menu is the same mess.

Re: Strange characters in chromium.

hm, I rather meant a language pack for Chromium; but there doesn't seem to exist one anyway.

Looks like a wrong character encoding to me, maybe a bug of the browser. You could look into "about:config" for any kind of language or localisations (and tab) stuff though.

Well, did you activate the Hungarian locales then?
If not, follow the wiki, uncommenting

#hu_HU.UTF-8 UTF-8  
#hu_HU ISO-8859-2

. Then run e.g.

$ LANG=hu_HU.UTF-8 chromium &

in an X term and see what happens.
