 |
|
Hi,
I have tried to follow the Gentoo Localization guide and some other resources i've found. What i want to achieve is to have my system to "speak" english, which should be the default. But i want to be able to type swedish characters and be able to see swedish characters both under Xfce and terminal/tty. I would be great to have the system using utf8 encoded character sets. At the moment my only problem seem to be that tty and terminal emulators does not show swedish characters.
Output from locale:
| Code: | $ locale
LANG=en_US.utf8
LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.utf8
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.utf8"
LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.utf8"
LC_NAME="en_US.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.utf8"
LC_ALL= |
Other environment variables:
| Code: | CONSOLEFONT="lat0-16"
KEYMAP="sv-latin1"
UNICODE="no" |
I recently change unicode from yes to no. Do not know if the change is effective yet. Any clues about why swedish characters are not shown properly i terminal/tty? [/code] |

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it must be UTF-8 instead of utf8, ensure your /etc/locale.gen looks similiar to this
cat /etc/locale.gen
| Code: | en_GB UTF-8
en_US UTF-8
|
and run
afterwards. Beside this you probably should enable unicode (set unicode="YES" in /etc/rc.conf)
