Slackware second language

mjjzf · 08-01-2005, 01:03 PM

As is standard, I installed Slackware with English. But I need to use Russian for papers and homepages. Where do I get the fonts and input software? I use Fluxbox.

The fonts for console are there, I'd say, you just need to
load them. xorg fonts are on the CD1. Not sure what you
mean with "Imput software" in this context.

Cheers,
Tink

The Cyrillic path is set right in xorg.conf - the folder exists and seems to have the right fonts. Is there a way to load them besides entering them in xorg.conf.

Do you mean if you visit a Russian web site, you can't see the cyrillic text ?

For the OT remark:
For learning Russian (back in the day) I used John Langran and Natalya Veshnyeva's "Ruslan". It is very useful.

As for the Slackware issue - answering Keefaz: I have a screenshot of the problem here. There are no actual letters, just an odd kind of placeholders.

I have similar problem, and I installed all the fonts and put the path in my xorg config, but it still does not work
