I'm having problems using the Koi8-r character set. I'm learning Russian currently so I decided to install the mueller dictionary for dictd.
The Mueller dictionary has been installed and working fine trough my own dictd. However, the entries are in Koi8-r format, this shouldn't be a problem because xfstt can generate koi8-r font mappings. So i've modified /etc/init.d/xfstt to generate koi8-r font mappings. If I run xterm -fn '-ttf-courier new-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-m-0-koi8-r', things are working fine, the output of dict <word> appears in a russian font where necessary. Konsole however doesn't seem to be able to use the koi8-r character set. I use KControl to select the Courier New with koi8-r encoding for Konsole, but it doesn't use that one. When I try to modify the font within Konsole the Courier New koi8-r isn't even there! Other KDE apps like KEdit, Kate aren't working either, when I open a textfile encoded in koi8-r they won't display the Russian characters. Only Konqueror shows them. KDict seems to ignore the Russian characters from dictd alltogether, only squares appear and pasting the output into a hexeditor reveals that all russian characters are translated to 0x00. Does anyone know how this is possible and how to fix it?
