[gentoo-dev] support for UTF8 in console

[gentoo-dev] support for UTF8 in console

[Mike Frysinger]

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32111

i need feedback from people who use UTF8 fonts/keymaps in the console on this 
bug ... i dont use UTF8 myself so i have no idea if the patch works :)

so please grab the latest patch, test, and post comments to the bug ... if i 
get no feedback, i cant add the patch, and the lack of UTF8 support isnt the 
fault of baselayout ;)

hi,
the patch should work as it does the same as my selfwritten unicode
script ;) i'll test it later this day

just one possible problem: kbd_mode seems to set the mode only on the
current console, not on all... at least kbd_mode in any other console
than the first echos that it runs in ASCII mode

ok, i've tested it now...
there is a syntax error in keymap... there's a missing "do"
after that it works without problems...

but AFAIK you have to echo '\033%G' to all tty
at least this is done in /usr/sbin/unicode_start which belongs to kbd
'\033%K' does absolutely nothing

also in the latest patch you echo '\033%G' and '\033%K' to all tty
it should be only one '\033%G' ;)

most probably it's the broken sylpheed-claws version i'm using on my
desktop... this should work ;)
the other mails were plain ASCII

I bet it's a problem with your signature.

Well, that (av scanning on what appears to be a vbs virus), or "signature"
in a different sense, as in:

Content-Type:       multipart/signed; boundary=Signature

The two initial (blank) messages had the above, which doesn't look right.
The third one, which comes thru, still doesn't look quite right, but:

Content-Type:       multipart/signed;
protocol="application/pgp-signature"; micalg=pgp-sha1;
boundary*0="Signature=_Fri__15_Oct_2004_17_18_02_+0200_fodO.p6vnjiEbJN";
boundary*1="z"

That's as shown in PAN when I display all headers (altho I wrapped that
second header for posting), as delivered thru the gmane list2news gateway.
