As you know, spanish users we do use characters like "ñ", "á", "ó", "é", "í", "ú". Well, when using the "pure" console (Ctrl+Alt+F1, from the graphical interface), and we ask for a simple "ls" in a directory that we had a file like "Río.jpg" it is showed CORRECTLY, al characters are showed the right way. It is too different when we are talking about typing. I can type with no problems "ñ" and "" symbols. But I can't type "á", "é", "í", "ó", "ú". In X11 (KDE and Gnome too) there are no problems with any character, all them are showed and can be typed correctly. ==> Here is my "/etc/env.d/02locale" file: LC_ALL="es_ES.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="es_ES.UTF-8" LANG="es_ES.UTF-8" ==> Here is "/etc/conf.d/keymaps" file: # /etc/conf.d/keymaps # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/keymaps,v 1.1.4.1 2005/02/19 02:13:53 vapier Exp $ # Use KEYMAP to specify the default console keymap.

Still same problem with CONSOLETRANSLATION commented. [*] lat9w-16 include spanish letters because with "/etc/env.d/02locale" settings as: LC_ALL="es_ES@euro" LANGUAGE="es_ES@euro" LANG="es_ES@euro" There are no problems (but it is not UTF-8, that is what I want).

Terminus can't show even "" or "ñ", and of course, cannot show "á", "é", "í"... nor write them. I know that is not a consolefont issue... because if I change my locales to ISO-8859-15 (where lat9w has support as for utf-8) works perfectly. I've read that maybe is a kernel issue and I've seen a website that has a patch for resolving this issue. You can check this issue too: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-221588-highlight-utf8+spanish.html (this one is in english). On that topic some solutions are told, but no one do really works. The only one (and maybe is the right solution) is to patch the kernel. This is the web site where the patch is supposed to be and work fine: http://chris.heathens.co.nz/linux/utf8.html Thank you

So?

Well, if you cannot handle this issue, please send it to a developer, or in other case, assign it to another person. I know that you (almost developers) have lots of work to do. Thank you, Rafael Fern

Don't reassign bugs back to bug wranglers.
how i can out spanish in pure console? special symbols i need i have english/russian/ukrainian keyboard.....
¿What do you mean? How to print out spanish characters ? Well, as I said there is no problem printing out "ñ" or "€". The problems came with "á", "é", "í", "ó", "ú". You can set your keyboard for -u es euro2. For printing out those kind of charaters I have: http://www.sussex.ac.uk/its/facilities/pc/keyboards/spanish.gif 1. Press the one that is at the right at "ñ" 2. Then press u, o, e, i, a In X11 you may have as a result "ú", "ó", "é", "í", "á". In "pure console" you may not have any output. That's the problem.
I have the same problem :(
(In reply to comment #14) > I have the same problem :( > hm ... i am tested on my box and have some things .... but i have one question: where you are get euro2 keymap?
I don't have this problem. Environment variables: LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=es_ES.UTF-8 (or LANGUAGE="") LANG=es_ES.UTF-8 (or LANG="") /etc/conf.d/keymaps: KEYMAP="es" DUMPKEYSCHARSET="" /etc/conf.d/consolefont: CONSOLEFONT="default8x16" #CONSOLETRANSLATION unset unicode is, of course, enabled in USE (and all system compiled with it), and set in rc.conf...
Closing as utf8 herd is dead and utf8 works fine for me in console for ages
