Hi, I am running Ubuntu 8.04LTS with Qcad 2.0.5.0. If I insert a 60mm high string of text, it displays properly if I use the standard font. If I use kochimincho (which I really like) it becomes a rectangle on the screen instead of text. Most of the fancier fonts do this too. When the package was originally installed, it didn't do this. I have checked the font files and I can use the blocks that are in them, but when I go to insert the text it doesn't work. Is it possible there is something wrong with my locales or something? I'm using standard U.S. English for everything. Help?
