Hi,

I downloaded the 1.3.t Development Release dmg, but when I launch it, all text is replaced with squares.   I looked the FAQs but see nothing there.  My machine is an Intel Mac with 4 GB memory the OS is OS X 10.6.3.  I did not have this problem with 1.2.6 or with 1.2.8.

Any good hint ?
What SVN version did you pick up? According to bug 4697 (which had the same complaint) this should be fixed in revisions 32751 or later.

I used the dmg from the Downloads section from www.wireshark.org.  It is 1.3.5.  Sorry for the mistype above.

The fix for that bug just missed 1.3.5 . You'll need to either use an buildbot build:

or manually apply the fix from bug 4697 (basically: edit $HOME/.wireshark-etc/pangorc and remove the quotes from the ModuleFiles and AliasFiles lines).
