I’v been using ProfileView.jl for some time now, with success. However, recently, the display changed, and the tooltips and various other displayed strings started using some font which doesn’t have regular ASCII characters. Based on the codes in the little boxes, the characters it draws are fine, t…

I found the culprit. For some reason, Gtk4.jl v0.7.2 is installed, as opposed to the newest v0.7.4. Pkg.status() says that it can be upgraded, but Pkg.upgrade() doesn’t do anything with it. If I manually set its version to v0.7.4, however, it is able to install it: (@v1.11) pkg> st --outdated -m S…

Does the same happen with ProfileCanvas.jl?

ProfileCanvas.jl works ok, the result is displayed correctly in the browser.

[image] HanD: I also get a warning when displaying the first profile window: (julia:3208466): Gtk-WARNING **: 09:37:10.062: No IM module matching GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus found I think the GTK warning is saying that you have requested to use ibus, by setting the environment variable GTK_IM_MODULE …

It appears to be a lack of font support. The “characters” are tofu/character-not-supported/.notdef glyphs. They may appear as rectangles or filled diamonds, possibly blank or with things like ? or X in the middle. In this case, it seems to be a rectangle holding codepoints, or rather attempts. I had…

[image] nsajko: I think the GTK warning is saying that you have requested to use ibus, by setting the environment variable GTK_IM_MODULE to ibus, but ibus isn’t installed. Not only it is installed, but it’s also running: $ psg ibus david 5443 ? sh -c /usr/bin/ibus-daemon --panel…

[image] Benny: It appears to be a lack of font support. The “characters” are tofu/character-not-supported/.notdef glyphs. Yeah, totally, that’s what I also wrote in the post itself. What’s odd is that it worked well until about two days ago, and then yesterday, it went poof. I will try a rest…

[image] HanD: So the question is, why is Gtk4.jl unable to find this lib. NB: Gtk4.jl probably uses the BinaryBuilder.jl -packaged GTK4_jll , instead of your system-wide GTK4 installation I see there’s no ibus packaged for BinaryBuilder.jl. Don’t known if that’s important. Two ideas for a d…

Did you upgrade any font intentionally (meaning from outside of Julia likely)? Are you on Windows (or which platform, I’m not implicating, just asking), and which font do you think you’re using? I would think this is a bug, i.e. in some upgraded (or downgraded) package dependency, so it would be ni…

[image] nsajko: Two ideas for a diagnosis: try unsetting the environment variable and see if that helps try using the system-wide GTK4 instead of the one provided by Julia: Overriding artifact locations I tried unsetting the envvar, the warning disappeared, but the issue remained. I checke…

[image] HanD: Now I don’t know why Pango_jll.jl prohibits the use of the newest version of Gtk4.jl . Gtk4.jl version 0.7.3 and newer upper bounds Pango_jll.jl due to some issue the maintainer had with Pango 1.55: version 0.7.3 by jwahlstrand · Pull Request #80 · JuliaGtk/Gtk4.jl · GitHub
