Hi Christian, Please, check if this info helps to choose correct default keymap for Tajik. ~$ xprop -root | grep XKB _XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "evdev", "pc105", "us,tj", ",", ""
Just do not set the default kaymap to 'lagacy' and eveything should work just fine.

OK, thanks for the file with the local name of the language.

That's an important item as it >means that the entry for Tajik will only show up in the graphical version of >D-I (which is now the default). So, I chose "category 4" for the language (according to http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/i18n/ch03s05.html). Therefore, the "needed characters" step is not really meaningful as it is only relevant for languages that *can* be used at the Linux console. We then completed steps 4, 5 and 6 Step 7 is about the font to use. We need to check whether the DejaVu font (which is the one we most commonly use, for instance for all Cyrillic-based languages) includes the 12 special glyphs for Tajik.... .../... It does : I just loaded your mail in an editor using the DejaVu fonts and the glyphs display correctly. So, step 7 completed. I filled in https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/GUIFonts No more font needed. For Step 8 (default keymap), can you mention me the settings that need to be chosen in X.org to get the Tajik keymap? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
