Weird font when installing i3 about installer

[deadhead420]

Woah! Strange! Have never seen this.... Could be due to xorg font configs not being installed... Not too sure. I haven't tested i3 since I added it which was over a year ago. I'll run an install in vbox to see if I can get to the bottom of it. In the mean time I would recommend checking the wiki and making sure xorg fonts are installed and configured correctly

What installation language? Spanish?

LE. Installed in spanish...all OK

The installation language was English. I'll do it again to enumerate each step I did in the installation so we can check if it's reproducible. I'll edit this and add it when I finish.

• English as installation language
• Connecting through Wi-Fi
• Default keymap
• locale en_US.UTF-8
• Europe > Madrid for timezone
• Auto partitioning (ext4, with 512M of swap and GPT)
• Mirrors update to France
• Using Arch Linux base-devel
• grub for bootloader
• netctl for network
• Installed bluetooth support
• Added multilib repos
• Enabled dhcp
• Created a new user with root privileges
• Installed i3wm
• Installed Nvidia-340xx drivers
• Installed xf86-input-synaptics
• Installed LightDM
• Installed blueman
• Additional software selected and added: audacity, jack2, puseaudio, firefox, transmission (both CLI and GTK), VLC, libreoffice-fresh, vim, zsh, arch-wiki, dmenu, fetchmirrors, git, gparted, htop, openssh, screenfetch ufw, wget

Anyways, for some reason that I don't understand now it works correctly. I tried two times before coming here and reporting the bug and I did each step exactly like I mentioned here, so I don't know what happened. I also have a friend and it happened the same to him.

Close the bug, I guess. It seems to be random.

Just leaving a comment because this came up in my google search.

I installed lightdm (like kurolox) and it fixed my issue. Previously, I attempted setting the fonts to Lyx because that's all I had installed (from what I could tell).

Once I installed lightdm, I mod+shift+r'ed and it's all fixed, which is why it started working for op. This is a font config related issue.
