Ubuntu Display(?) Problems
I've used ubuntu for a really long time now, and it has been perfectly fine.
A week ago, I decided for a clean install of ubuntu, but when I reinstalled scratch,
this happened:

Any ideas?

Hmm, I doubt it, but what placement is english in the menu
Everything is squares.
It's 9th from the top. Is that what you have?
I know what you're thinking! "Neptune! Get rid of those filthy advertisements and give us back the Zarathustra siggy, you horrible person!" Well, don't worry about it, the Zara siggy will be back soon, new and improved! ^^ Meanwhile, just do what the sig tells you to. >.>Offline

Well, I somehow clicked my way into french, and it displays fine. So I found english back on the menu, clicked it, and it's back to squares.
Hmm, have you tried reinstalling?

Re: Ubuntu Display(?) Problems
That is really weird. Especially if French worked properly.
Maybe there's a language problem with your system?
The problem is I don't have any ubuntu nearby (I did 2 hours ago, sigh. back to windows ) and I don't know how it installs. The language file might be in "~/.locale/EN_us/...MESSAGES/Scratch.???" but I'm not sure.
Just to be sure, what does "locale -l" say in a terminal (Ctrl + Alt +T) (if that even is the right command... pfffff)

Re: Ubuntu Display(?) Problems
Download This.. Open it in your text editor.
Directly under "font to use on a linux system" replace 'linux-font' with 'well, um.... check to see if you have helvetica, if not, use Arial or TNR. Save it and put it in Scratch 1.4/Locale. Choose the last one in the list and it should work.

Re: Ubuntu Display(?) Problems
Yeah, this looks like a problem wherein your computer doesn't have the right character set installed, or it's not being called upon properly. But, I don't know enough about Ubuntu to help you - my apologies!

I can't open it with gedit...
And where is the locale folder?
