Christian,
I looked at the locales in localechooser and it seams that currently
the only non-UTF8 locales are C, Bulgarian, Esperanto and Georgian.
Maybe it is time to swith all locales to UTF-8? If you decide to do
this please add a command
db_set debian-installer/charmap UTF-8
somewhere in localechooser. Otherwise add a code similar to this:
case "$locale" in
bg_BG)
charmap=CP1251;;
eo)
charmap=ISO-8859-3;;
ka_GE)
charmap=GEORGIAN-PS;;
kk_KZ)
charmap=PT154;;
*)
charmap=UTF-8;;
esac
db_set debian-installer/charmap "$charmap"
I noticed that the Georgian locale is declared as
Georgian;4;ka;GE;ka_GE;;kbd=ka8x16thin(utf8)
but its encoding is GEORGIAN-PS which is not supported on the console
unless console-setup is used and is not supported in X Window
regardless what is used. The only usefull locale for Georgian is
ka_GE.UTF-8.
A similar problem with the (commented out) Kazakh locale:
#X Kazakh;2;kk;KZ;kk_KZ;;kbd=ruscii_8x16(koi8-r)
The encoding of kk_KZ is the not very useful PT154 so kk_KZ.UTF-8 has
to be used instead. (Notice also that koi8-r does not cover Kazakh
language which means that either console-cyrillic or console-setup
have to be used for Kazakh.)
