Locale trouble.
Hi,
i have some problems with my new LFS-6.8. With the following variables LANG=ru LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8 FONT=UniCyr_8x16 CHARSET=ru4 UNICODE=1 i get well-written russian system messages(like "комманда не найдена"), but when i type russian text myself i get incorrect characters(like "?"). What did i forgot to do and say? Also, altho it may be related, in lynx i get russian cites translited. Any suggestions? |
Hi,
Have you checked your content of: /etc/sysconfig/console and /etc/profile. No typo's or other mistakes? Also: UTF-8 isn't well supported (BLFS - Locale Related Issues). Hope this helps. EDIT: I found this, not mentioned in the later versions but it might help: LFS 6.3 - Configuring the Linux Console (Bottom of the page, last console example). |
Hi,
I tried a lot of combinations of LC_ALL KEYMAP and FONT variables values. Configuration you pointed i tried also with different LC_ALL. No effect. Will try to find out what variables are set on other comp's Debian.Any more ideas to try? EDIT: Combination found: UNICODE=1 KEYMAP=ruwin_alt-UTF-8 LANG=ru LC_ALL=ru_RU.UTF-8 Switches with right ALT. Lynx still translite. No idea. Configured with nls. |
Hi,
Good to read you got the main problem fixed. About lynx: did you check the Options Menu (start lynx, press o (not zero, the letter) to see if the settings are correct? Display character set is the first that came to mind.... Also look at: - Preferred document language -Preferred document character set Hope this helps. |
Was easy, just set display set as UTF-8.
Also, its seems best to set FONT=LatArCyrHeb-14. This font looks best for me with ncurses application, like mcabber. Thanks a lot. |
You're welcome :)
