Linux, KeePass2.
All Chinese character is displayed as □ (wrong font).
Change font to Noto Sans CJK SC fix this inside preview (password list view).
Now I use keepass for note taking. And found that this issue is not fixed inside the password entry (i.e. detail view).
Nor will WenQuanYi Micro Hei WenQuanYi Micro Hei Mono Noto Sans CJK TC Noto Sans Mono CJK SC.
Font setting is not regarded inside detail view.
P.S. lI1 (without the tail) all look like 1 using the default font under Linux mint (Ubuntu). I miss-typed that n times. (I don't know the default font now.)

Well lI1 look like identical under Noto Sans CJK SC, maybe not under default font...

That will be a mono/Linux font issue, not a lot KeePass can do about that.
Try KeeWeb or KeePassXC as they have native Linux versions.

Hello,

I have the simular problem related to cyrillic characters
It worked correctly some months ago.
KeePass 2.39 (Dev 180507)
Mono 5.10.1.47
Linux 4.16.6
Is it possible to fix it within KeePass2 software ?

1) With 'Force using system font' enabled

2) With 'Force using system font' disabled. It works except this dialog

Thank you.

Hello,

I suppose the main reason is OS changing from
https://www.archlinux.org/
to
http://archlinux32.org

The latest update to mono 5.12.0.226-1.0 doesn't help me .

Is it possible to run mono without keepass in order to localize the problem ?
Is it possible to specify locale/charset for mono command ?

I have attached the result of this command
mono --verify-all --verbose /usr/share/keepass/KeePass.exe --auto-type > $tx/1.txt

Thank you.
