 Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2005 11:02 am Post subject: UTF8 / Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font [solved?] |
 |
|
Hi!
I installed Gentoo on my old laptop, harddisk is rather small, so i build xorg with minimal flag.
Now i am trying to switch to unicode, it works in the commandline, but not with xorg!!
I have another laptop, where unicode works fine, and i used the same configs on both machines:
/etc/locales.build: | Code: |
de_DE.UTF-8/UTF-8
de_DE/ISO-8859-1
de_DE@euro/ISO-8859-15
|
/etc/env.d/02locale: | Code: |
LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8"
LANGUAGE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LANG="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
|
In the console, i get working "umlaute", so everything works fine there, but not in xorg!
Uxterm fails with: Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font.
Parts of my xorg and programms are in german now, but no umlaute!
(I did rebuild anything depending on slang and ncurses, also unicode usflag is set)
I have bitmap-fonts and truetype and type1 fonts as useflag, and i installed some unicode aware fonts.
I fear it has something to do with that minimal flag, because of this here in the X0rg.0.log:
| Code: |
(EE) Couldn't load XKB keymap, falling back to pre-XKB keymap

Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!

Somebody got any clue where i should look first? Xorg useflags, font-problems or whatever?
Since compilation takes some time on that old machine, i wasn't willing to simply re-emerge
xorg with font-server and without minimal flag....
Thanls for reading, any help appreciated!

Could you please post (a link to) your xorg.conf? My first guess would be to try changing the line that reads | Code: | ...
Option "XkbLayout" "gb" #or "de" in your case
... |
to | Code: | Option "XkbLayout" "de_DE"
|
Have a read of the Gentoo Unicode Guide to see if anything there helps too. |

Hm, i don't think thats the problem, because on my other laptop, just "de" is allright.
And it is too late, i am emerging xorg without minimal and with font-server, started under xorg, so i loose some hours of already compiled sources for a solution i don't really believe in...
The xorg.conf is identical for the keyboard part to the one on my other laptop, so i guess it should work. |

Ok, after rebuilding with "font-sever -minimal", everything works fines, i get my umlautz and it didn't take that long to rebuild.
But i think this should be mentioned somewhere in order to avoid confusion. I will see, if both flags are needed to change, or just one of them. I can't believe one has to build a fullblown xorg in order to have 4 additional letter.... |
