Hello
I have a problem the accented characters showing _ in shell . I have
installed and configured spleen font. put LANG and LC_CTYPE to fr_FR.UTF-8
but it do not show up. If you have an idea ?
here locale command:
jean-mi@x1:~$ locale
LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="fr_FR.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
The locale looks fine.
Are you running in X11 or on console?
The console does not support UTF-8. You will need to run X11.
It is on xenocara.
To get a working setup you can then tweak, put this line into ~/.xsession:
export LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8
And log in via xenodm.
Configure a font which xterm can use. For example, put this line:
XTerm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono
into ~/.Xdefaults and then run
xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults
A newly started xterm should now show accented characters.
I did all that. It seems to not bug as it bugged when there was not so
much UTF8 in openbsd (remeber when we delete an UTF8 character). It
seems it is just the displaying that don't work.
I also tried putting LC_ALL="fr_FR.UTF-8" and no change.
I missed something when reinstalling and reconfigurating the computer
but I don't see what.
bye
