[Xastir] xastir strange behaviour

Hi David

I wonder if this is it because I just checked my terminal window and there are many instances of the following error warning


Warning
Name
Class
Character /260 not supported in font.  Discarded.

This is repeater many times each time with a different name.  I don’t know how to fix it though.  As I mentioned in my earlier post I did do a xastir upgrade and apt-get upgrade.  One thing though, this problem  only happens with the tnc packet data.  If I select net data only then all the stations come in perfectly as always.

Hello Joe,

That link works.  So is your issue the strange characters and the 
excessive CR/LFs in the "Display Packet Data" box?  If so, that smacks 
of a font problem.  Did you recently update your OS and it included 
various fonts or Xserver updates?  Maybe you can choose a different font 
or possibly rebuild your font cache?  I remember seeing posts on this 
list about font issues maybe a year ago.
