Description Jens Seidel 2008-02-10 20:13:58 UTC
I want to use Unicode in my console and properly configured the corresponding
config files. It works well in /dev/tty1 but not in other consoles.
Simple calling "setfont <font file>" in the corresponding consoles fixes
this problem. The init system calls already setfont -C /dev/tty{1,..,12}
and the font is indeed changed. Nevertheless the console displays wrong characters once I enter
8bit characters (redirction to a file verifies that only the display is effected).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select UNICODE="yes" in /etc/rc.conf
2.Adapt /etc/conf.d/consolefonts: CONSOLEFONT="Uni3-Terminus32x16" (from Debian), CONSOLETRANSLATION="8859-1_to_uni"
3.



Since setfont itself works well on the current console the problem is
the option -C.

You didn't post emerge --info output as the bug page told you.

Please set yourself a valid profile before compiling anything, your /etc/make.profile symlink is broken.
Comment 5 Jonas Stein gentoo-dev 2020-09-08 19:03:41 UTC
the current stable is sys-apps/kbd-2.2.0-r2
Please test and open a new ticket, if there is still a bug.
