X-Debbugs-CC: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Some ACM files of `console-data' are written in the quoted character
format, using single characters as translation stuff. This
representation is incompatible with the specification defined in [1]:
--cut: mapscrn(1)--
Values in the file may be specified in one of several formats:
[...]
5. Character: Single character enclosed in single quotes. (And the
binary value is used.) Note that blank, comma, tab character and '#'
cannot be specified with this format.
--cut: mapscrn(1)--
It breaks when `setfont -m' is invoked on one of such files, e. g.:
$ setfont koi8b-8x16 -m koi8-r -u koi8-r
Error parsing symbolic map from `/usr/share/consoletrans/koi8-r.acm.gz', line 5
The given question will be settled if to set `U+0023' instead of `#'
in the all problem files:
bulgarian-mic.acm
cp1251.acm
cp866.acm
koi8-r.acm
MacCyrillic.acm
It's interesting that `setfont -m' is able to parse comma character
contrary to mapscrn(1). Blank and tab characters weren't put in
the files mentioned above.
