gnome strange language display

I installed gnome on arch, everything works perfectly (sound, keyboard, mouse...). But all icons names, menus names... all writings in gnome display squares [][][][][]. What can be wrong.

Re: gnome strange language display

What language are you using for your system? English?

Look at the file called:

/etc/locale.gen

And make sure that you've uncommented the correct language lines. Then run locale-gen as root.

I already done that much earlier. But no effect.
