ATI Driver installer screen missing nearly all text, how do I resolve this?

I am using 64-Bit Ubuntu 12.10 On a Dell 7520, intel core i5 3210, ati 7730m, 4gb DDR3

I downloaded ATI catalyst software driver for linux (amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run), but when i run it using sudo ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-12.10-x86.x86_64.run the application window is visible but no text is seen:

driver installer-missing text 1driver installer-missing text 2

I want to know weather extra fonts are needed or something else. Please tell me how.

Thank You.


I faced the same issue. After beating my head over it for a long time, I discovered the cause: locale. I assume you have locale set to something other than en_US. Try this as root (for any amd-catalyst version):

LANG="en_US" /bin/bash ./amd-catalyst-13.4-linux-x86.x86_64.run

from the directory in which the driver is. Fixed the issue for me.
