Alejandro, how was that?
were you able to set up in the way you want?
I have a similar question... I'm wondering if is doable to set up your
debian system in English and read special characters (like á-ú,ñ) in the tty
console. I'm a TeX user and use to do a spelling check using aspell (#aspell
-t -c file.tex --lang=es), but when I've to do texts in Spanish I'm not able
to see the special characters because it's not supported by my system. For
instance, instead of "Córdoba" you see "C rdoba), and when you use a file
parser like more, you see funny characters in "ó" place.
Does anyone have a clue how to set up my system to achieve this?
Best Regards.
Andrew
