Hi, I've recently seen that the console font (I mean the CTRL+ALT+Fn console) used on my system does not support the diacritics specific to the Romanian language (but other symbols like € and đ were missing too). These characters are rendered as small squares. This is particularly annoying as some manual pages are localized and one has a hard time reading documentation to fix some general problem that required a trip to CTRL+ALT+Fn land.
After searching a bit I found the console-setup package and saw (fontforge) that at least a part of the fonts in there have glyphs for these diacritics. console-setup's README pointed me to the 'setupcon' utility. Running 'setupcon -v -f' in a console changed the console's font and brought support for the missing diacritics (including € and đ). I'm now stuck as I have no idea which program loads which fonts at what time, and why 'setupcon -v -f' (or an equivalent) cannot be executed by default when starting a virtual console. Can someone point out what needs to be done to have proper font support by default when one enters a Linux console with CTRL+ALT+Fn, or at least point me to the package that needs fixing/tweaking? -- . ..: Lucian -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
