No text on Scilab gui - scilab

I'm using Arch Linux, I downloaded the tarball from scilab's site, and the GUI looks like this:
The problem is that there are no labels, or text, on the GUI menus. Any idea on why it happens? Thanks

I had this issue today on my fedora 33, and after 3 hours of searching ( although I didn't find anything useful), so I tried to change the system font, and surprisingly It worked!
I hope it works for you too.

Issue with Rstudio version (Version 1.3.1073) "Giant goldenrod" when moving R studio window to new monitor doesn't display correctly

This is a basic question that I hope has a simple solution. When I move my Rstudio window to an external monitor display - it no longer rescales properly and instead is rendered completely useless - showing me only the lower portion of the window (see screenshot) and doesn't allow me to resize the window or adjust it in anyway to access the taskbar along the top. Has anyone else experienced this or have options for how this could be fixed?
I frequently need to shift my Rstudio window to different monitors, and I was doing this with no issue prior to installing the latest Rstudio version - so I am wondering if there must just be some setting that got reset when I updated the software, but I can't seem to figure it out. I have tried fixing scaling options in Windows by using the properties options on the Rstudio icon on my desktop - and then clicking on compatibility and High DPI settings, but messing around with that so far hasn't seemed to work. However I haven't tried all possible combinations as i thought I would check here first to see if someone could fast track this process for me. As you can see in the image - this display is impossible to work with. When I move it back - it works as it should. I am using Windows 10, and I update my software regularly. TY!
Update
Ok, I was able to reproduce on a Lenovo with an external Dell monitor and address the problem by applying a fix proposed in another Stack Overflow thread. See below:
Research:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/windows-scaling-issues-for-high-dpi-devices-508483cd-7c59-0d08-12b0-960b99aa347d
Resolution:
There is a solution, it comes from the option "Compatibility" of the execute file.
Close all current RStudio windows.
Right-click on the shortcut of RStudio (or the original .exe file) and choose Properties
In the RStudio Properties pop-up windows, choose the tab Compatibility
Select High DPI settings
Tick on option Override hide DPI scaling... and then choose System from the drop-down list.
Apply > OK.
(Re)open Rstudio to see the change
On my test system, this addressed the problem observed where the menu text became super large.

RStudio HiDPI support
This appears to be an issue with the version of QT used by RStudio. RStudio is built on top of the QT engine.
QT tracking Issue:
https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-48242
the issue is marked as fixed in QT version 5.9.0 and above.
Recommendation:
Download RStudio preview and try that:
https://www.rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download/preview/
Why? The preview version of RStudio appears to use QtWebEngine/5.12.8, which implies the issue is addressed. If that does not resolve the issue you could file a bug with RStudio, or install and recompile RStudio from the source with an updated version of QT. You can check your QT version via the help, about box.
Hoping the above points you in the right direction. Stays safe and well.

Issue with input keyboard sources in RStudio Fedora 32

My RStudio in Fedora 32 doesn't accept other input sources rather than the default en-US keyboard while other apps are doing well. I have to type Vietnamese letters in Text Editor and copy to RStudio. Does anyone have the same issue? Any suggestions?
Look at this link and this one
Not sure if this will only change the displayed language, but I hope this would change the keyboard input as well. This also might be a Operating system setting, even though you said other programs work fine

Blurry font issue on qt-creator-4.8.0

I started studying QT on windows 7. But I had trouble on qt-creator 4.8.0. After I finished installing qt-creator-4.8.0, I found that certain fonts are blurry. You can see it the images below:
As you can see, some fonts are blurry. How can I fix it?
Note that on another computer it works fine.
when i try to use qt-creator-3.6.1,it shows black screen.the image show like this.

Perhaps this is an OpenGL driver issue. Probably your computer is a little bit older and the OpenGL drivers are outdated. You can try to find updates from your graphics card vendor but I'm having my doubts this will help. Changing to a Qt5 based Creator might also help.

RStudio "Source on Save" button missing

I'm having an issue where my "Source on Save" button has disappeared from RStudio, and it's really frustrating me. It was there yesterday, but now it's not. Does anyone have any idea what could be the cause of this?
The only thing I can figure out is that the button shows up BEFORE you save a new file. Once you save it, the button disappears. I've also tried updating RStudio, with no luck. Then I tried uninstalling/re-installing. Again, with no luck.
I have no idea what might have caused it to disappear since yesterday. I've been writing some code for one of my personal projects, but nothing crazy.
I'm running RStudio 0.98.977(now) on Win7.
This is really frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
edit: Also, I tried uploading a screenshot, but SO won't let. All of the file extensions are .R, so they SHOULD be interpreted correctly. Also, this behavior is consistent across all of my R scripts, including ones that previously worked correctly.
I finally figured it out, thanks to this short discussion (which was just answered 2 hours ago, lucky me!):
https://support.rstudio.com/hc/communities/public/questions/202788856-Problem-sourcing-non-shiny-R-code-in-RStudio-0-98-953
Apparently, shiny.ui and shiny.server cannot be located in the same folder as any of the files you want to source or else it thinks all of the other files in that folder are part of the Shiny app. I guess this throws it off somehow. I still don't know why it just showed up today, because I haven't used that app in the last several days, and I've been working on projects non-stop since then....but whatever, it works now.
Hopefully, this helps someone else out in the future.
