Strange character on input numbers [SOLVED]
Hello folks!
I have a problem with my FreeCAD enviroment. On the menus, when an input number is requried, some strange characters appears instead. If the proper number are typed it works fine, but is annoying to have this characters and loose the reference of what value was before... I was wondering if any of you can help me to solve this thing. I've attached a capture of one menu so you can see the problem.
Thank you in advance!

Re: Strange character on input numbers
Hi!
I'd be curious to know, what are language settings on your Windows? Maybe it's trying to print something else than Arabic numbers...

Hi DeepSOIC!
The system language is Spanish. I've checked the FreeCAD settings and tried English and Spanish but the problem persists.
Any clue of what could be happening?

Re: Strange character on input numbers
You could try updating to a 0.16 snapshot as 0.15 is very nearly obsolete, if the problem does not persist then it will no longer matter soon anyway, but if the problem does still persist then its probably relevant.oldsphere wrote:Hi DeepSOIC!

Re: Strange character on input numbers
OK, one thing you could try is renaming the config files, so that when FreeCAD starts it generates new ones all with default values....that would determine if it is something in the settings somewhere causing the issues.oldsphere wrote:Good idea but the problem still persists...

Is the value in "Family" a reasonable font name? (Arial, TimesNewRoman, etc)

It was on Calibri. I've changed to Arial for trying and nothing changed, same problem.wandererfan wrote:Edit > Preferences > General > Editor

The 0.16 version that I found was already compiled and I've executed it straightly without any installation process. I looked around on the folder for configuration files but threre wasn't any luck. Lots of DLLs but nothing I could identify as a config file. Where should I look for them?jmaustpc wrote:OK, one thing you could try is renaming the config files, so that when FreeCAD starts it generates new ones all with default values....that would determine if it is something in the settings somewhere causing the issues.
Re: Strange character on input numbers
All versions on your system share the same config files. Type %APPDATA%/FreeCAD into the address bar and you will see them. system.cfg and user.cfg

Re: Strange character on input numbers
Ok, now I've found them. Thank you! However, the problem is still there...
