Hmm, 'Full 8 bits' lets me enter some special chars, but not the correct ones. 'ISO 8859-1' doesn't help at all. > try putting the following into your ~/.inputrc file (this file is read > when bash is started) [--- cut --- ] I already had these entries in ~/.inputrc, without any effect for the keyboard mapping and the console font. > Look at > /usr/doc/HOWTO/Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO.gz > and > /usr/doc/HOWTO/mini/Key-Setup.gz > > In general /usr/doc/HOWTO/German-HOWTO.gz is useful for dealing with > german umlauts. In the keyboard-HowTo I learned about 'unicode' charsets. Though I didn't fully understand what this means (yet ;-), I tried to load some other fonts. After all, 'loadkeys de-latin1' and 'setfont lat1u-16' did what I wanted (german umlauts and correct box borders for mc). I really can't understand why you don't have to do this or something equivalent (or why I have to do it). Where do I have to insert the setfont command in the startup scripts? Immediately following the loadkeys statement? Thank you for your help, Ulf -- #include <signature> -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
