I installed CentOS from the minimal iso image. I then installed<br />
<br />
yum groupinstall Desktop<br />
<br />
In gnome-terminal, a very strange font was installed, letters were overlapping and huge spaces were between other letters. /etc/sysconfig/i18n contained<br />
<br />
LANG="en_US.UTF-8" SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"<br />
<br />
Then I have found <br />
<br />
<a href="http://serverfault.com/questions/430239/centos-6-gnome-terminal-font-is-garbled-until-arabic-support-is-installed/430256#430256">http://serverfault.com/questions/430239/centos-6-gnome-terminal-font-is-garbled-until-arabic-support-is-installed/430256#430256</a> [<a href="http://serverfault.com/questions/430239/centos-6-gnome-terminal-font-is-garbled-until-arabic-support-is-installed/430256#430256" target="_blank">^</a>]<br />
<br />
where it is reported that Arabic support installation cures the problem, and, it can be simply reduced to installing<br />
<br />
dejavu-sans-mono-fonts<br />
<br />
And, indeed it solved the problem. <br />
<br />
I did not find a Desktop project to assign this report to, so set gnome-terminal here.<br />
<br />
Would it be possible to add dejavu-sans-mono-fonts to the Desktop install group?
