Could you run on the console the command locale >/tmp/locale.out and then send to me the contents of the files /tmp/locale.out and /etc/default/console-setup?
These are attached.
Also we must determine whether only the keyboard can not produce ז,ר,ו or the font is also broken with respect to these characters. In order to check this create in X Window some short file that contains these characters (say /tmp/danishtest). Then go to the console and type cat /tmp/danishtest Now, can you see the Danish letters? If you can see them but you can not type them then the font must be OK.
I get the same wrong characters whether I type them or cat them from /tmp/danishtest To be precise, the characters actually written to screen are http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CE%9C (lowercase) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C2%B0 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigma (lowercase)
If the font is OK, but you can not type these letters, run the command cat >/dev/null Now try again to type the Danish letters. If you can type them then the keyboard is also OK and the problem comes from the command interpreter.
This writes the same wrong characters.
Try these tests while your system is in clean state, i.e. you've just rebooted and you have not used setupcon yet. Anton Zinoviev
I tried the tests in a console, after X started and I switched to the console. Please say if I should try them inside a boot which does not start X. Regards, Thue
