fbterm - issue #46

Text garbled on radeonfb


Posted on Dec 15, 2010 by Massive Camel

fbterm does not work on radeonfb unfortunately. The text is garbled (truncated) and unreadable both in normal and portrait mode. I've tried different fonts, but this doesn't help.

Must be a font issue. fbterm -v -s 14 -a -n "Terminus" works fine. All other OpenType and TrueType monospace-fonts are garbled.

There isn't a radeonfb enabled linux system for me to debug this issue :(

But it is NOT a font issue. I guess text will be rendered correctly with antialias disabled TrueType fonts.

I have same problem: font is gray, not white.
