I can recompile and assemble Slackware myself. All. From scratch, from another GNU/Linux distribution. For another platform.

But if I asked to include it in the basic delivery, then this is why it is necessary. :-)

At the moment there is no terminus-font in the dialog setconsolefont at all. No version. No terminus font. :-)

I will be satisfied with any option with terminus-font out of the box, without having to go into rc.font and rc.keymap. :-)

P.S. This my setlang script from RTK GNU/Linux:

If you need a menu for everything and don't like editing config files, you're gonna have a bad time here.

Ha. Let's hope he will learn the Slackware way quickly and that won't be the case. Don't want to scare away the new people too much now.

Thanks for the answer, Patrick. This is not for me. This is not only for me. This is for all users of Slackware, for which the English language is not native.

:-D :-D :-D

Every time, I climb there, it ends with a creating new fork of Slackware. :-D :-D :-D

1. Last (only) version of RTK GNU/Linux
2. S.C.R. GNU/Linux
3. Three??? o_O

Hi,

I'm too all for Terminus.
I'm using it on X terminals too.

BTW, which variant is best for having best Unicode coverage?

All terminus fonts include an Unicode mapping. For Polish, use ter-2* (mappings iso02, cp1250, codepages ISO8859-2, Windows-1250) or to get all available glyphs, ter-v as suggested by Gazl, cf. /usr/doc/terminus-font-<version>/README.

That being said, under X I'd rather just let fontconfig do its homework and select Monospace, with in ~/.Xresources:
Code:
Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting:1
Xft.hintstyle:hintfull
Other than that, DejaVu is not bad.

IMHO mate-terminal is the best, but I digress.

I have requested that Slackware be internationalized several year ago but failed to convince our BDFL. So instead I started the Slint project:
http://slint.fr/wiki/start?id=en/start
There is also a Russian tanslation but it needs to be updated:
http://slint.fr/wiki/start?id=ru/start

Main repository for the most recent version:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/
Read also:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/sli...EADME-14.2.1.1

PS Alexandr, I just started RTK Linux 0.7 alpha3 in a QEMU VM, Unfortunately it fails to complete the startup sequence, see attached pic.
