Not text is being rendered but a handful of letters and question marks (?)

Help Wanted

Problem

We’re currently using 2.7.7 of Fomantic-UI. We’re using a vanilla version–no themes/templates/building. Literally downloaded the repository and used the dist folder. The only other Javascript/CSS libraries we’re using are jQuery, SignaturePad, and TinyMCE. Our application is an internal-only used by employees.

We have two types of users: those who use traditional Windows workstations (desktops/laptops) and those who use virtual desktops (VMware View). All users are using Windows 10 build 1607 and use IE as their main browser. Our virtual desktop users are getting strange issues with the Fomantic-UI interface, and it only seems to be affecting them. I think only one person on a desktop has experienced this issue–but everyone on virtual desktops experiences it. Essentially, all letters on the page will be rendered with a question mark (?) with the exception of a handful of random letters. Clearing the browser cache nor killing all instances of the browser doesn’t fix the issue. The only way to fix it is to have the user log off their virtual desktop, then log back on. I’ve worked with our virtual desktop admin and he can’t figure out why the system itself would cause this. Users don’t experience this issue on any other internal or external site–just this web application that uses Fomantic-UI.

I have attached a screenshot. I appreciate any help anyone can offer because I’m currently at a loss. Thanks!

I don’t think this is releated to the FUI core.

• Please check the environment of your Virtual Desktops, especially global language
• check, if the VMs do have correct access to the internet (if you use the dist-files the google lato font will still be loaded via internet connection)
• if possible try to at least test once with another browser than IE in the VM Environment
• Please provide a jsfiddle, which replicates your issue, as we don’t know your VM environment and cannot get access to it

I am closing this for now and housekeeping, because it is related to your VM infrastructure rather than Fomantic itself. Out of curiosity, please keep us updated and we’ll be happy to reopen this when you can provide a reproducable testcase. 🙂 Thanks
