 |
|
Hi!
I'm trying to get scandinavian fonts (ä,ö,å) working in shell. I've got most of it configured right. Keyboard layout is fine and fonts show up correctly when I type. However when I do cat or ls, all scandinavian fonts display as '?'.
I can fix this problem with:
$ export LANG="fi_FI@euro"
but then my shell starts to speak Finnish.. e.g. it says "Muistialueen ylitys" when it should say "Segmentation fault". IMHO there is no point of UI speaking any other language than English. It only make things look stupid and harder to understand.
So how can I turn it off without turning off scandinavian font support? |

put these lines into /etc/rc.conf:
KEYMAP="fi-latin1 euro2"
CONSOLEFONT="lat0-16"
export LANG="C"
export LC_CTYPE="fi_FI@euro"
Just tested, all scandinavian big characters are odd. Everything all works great, even euro symbol. I prefer English language settings but keyboard is Finnish. |

That didn't help me. ls still gives me '?' instead of 'ä' or 'ö'. Konqueror shows these characters just fine though.
Should I have CONSOLETRANSLATION set? |

I also had some trouble with this. There is an excellent thread in the Swedish section on this. I have it working on my machine in this way:
| Code: | # In /etc/rc.conf:
KEYMAP="se-latin1 euro2"
CONSOLEFONT="iso01.14"
# In /etc/profile:
export LANG=en_US
export LC_CTYPE=sv_SE |
Note that I use a different console font that the previous poster. I do not have CONSOLETRANSLATION set. (And I preferred to set LANG et al in /etc/profile.) |

I use
| Code: |
# In /etc/rc.conf:
KEYMAP="se-latin1"
CONSOLEFONT="lat9v-14"
# In /etc/profile:
export LC_ALL=en_US
export LANG=en_US
|
Works good for me, åäöß and all other I've seen except the degree sign. |

Done some changes.
| Quote: |
#/etc/rc.conf
#CONSOLETRANSLATION="8859-15_to_uni"
CONSOLEFONT="iso01.14"
|
I had LC_CTYPE and LANG in two places, /etc/rc.conf and /etc/profile. I removed them from /etc/rc.conf. |

Hope this is my last config. I'm happier with this setting in /etc/rc.conf
CONSOLEFONT="lat9-16" |

|
|
Hi.
I've tried searching through these forums, but the
information I have found haven't helped me.
I don't have any problems with the locales in KDE
or any apps except with Java- applications and in
the main console. Characters like "æ" and "å" just
won't show up correctly.
I followed a guide on the web and figured out that
/etc/env.d/02locale had to be created by the user..
so here's what I got:
| Code: |
erik@barbar ~ $ cat /etc/env.d/02locale
LANG="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LANGUAGE="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_ALL="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
|
I thought this would work, but:
| Code: |
erik@barbar ~ $ locale
locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No
such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_MESSAGES to default locale:
No such file or directory
locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No
such file or directory
LANG=no_NO/ISO-8859-15
LC_CTYPE="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_NUMERIC="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_TIME="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_COLLATE="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_MONETARY="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_MESSAGES="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_PAPER="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_NAME="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_ADDRESS="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_TELEPHONE="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_MEASUREMENT="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="no_NO/ISO-8859-15"
LC_ALL=no_NO/ISO-8859-15
|
When I try locale -a :
| Code: |
erik@barbar ~ $ locale -a
C
POSIX
de_DE
de_DE@euro
en_HK
en_PH
en_US
en_US.utf8
es_MX
fa_IR
fr_FR
fr_FR@euro
it_IT
ja_JP
ja_JP.eucjp
ja_JP.utf8
|
So I don't even got the desired locale available?
Could anyone please help me out with this, as you
might have figured, I'm kinda stuck. |

I'm using Eclipse with sun-jdk-1.5.

| Code: |
public class Karakterer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println( "æøå" );
}
}
|
Anyone out there able to help me out?
the output is this;
