I can think of a couple of things:

*) Your fonts.

Try changing some of them.   I don't recall whether
Map->Configure->Map Labels Font will change the station fonts or
not.  It might require changing Xastir sources and recompiling.


*) Your LANG setting.

What does "echo $LANG" show you?  You might need to do "export
LANG=C xastir &" on startup, or "export LANG=en_US xastir &".

The printf/fprint/sprintf/scanf/fscanf functions change based on the
LANG setting.  Unfortunately those are the functions we use to
save/restore the config file.


You didn't mention _where_ you were seeing the incorrect callsign.
Was it on the maps?  If so, does File->Configure->Station still have
the correct callsign?  If so it's a fonts problem.
