    Help: characters problem

    Hi everyones,

    I have a big problem with all characters on my Kali Sana.
    All of my characters have been changed after and update and I don't know how to resolve this.
    I see all menus like this: ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
    I see all applications names like that: ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
    All folders ands documents: ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐

    All programs work, but I can't navigate normally with characters like ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐ and ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐.

    If you have a solution, I would be happy.

    Thanks

    PS: Sorry for my English, I'm not very good

    Rebuild your font cache

    fc-cache -f

    Restart or restart gnome

    Sounds like a GUI problem...have you tried removing & reinstalling GDM?

    Also, I don't think Kali Sana is supported since the release of Kali Rolling; not sure how much longer the Sana repos will be up.

    Thanks a lot guys, it work now.

    I post the solution for people who have the same problem:

    1/ First open a terminal and type:

    fc-cache -f

    2/ Restart

    3/ If it does not work, press Alt + F2. A window will open. In this window enter:

    rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity

    4/ Restart
