Description Jimmy Selgen 2002-08-31 04:56:29 UTC
Danish locale settings for gnome2 doesnt work :(
The local chars for denmark displays wrong when using 80% of the fonts (and
yes.. the fonts support the chars.. it works in BSD 4.6.x, SuSE 8.0, Redhat 7.3)

I have the following env. vars set :
LC_CTYPE=da_DK.ISO_8859-1
LC_COLLATE=da_DK.ISO_8859-1
LC_TIME=da_DK.ISO_8859-1
LC_MONETARY=da_DK.ISO_8859-1
LC_MESSAGES=en_US

I'm using gentoo-1.3a with a stage 3 tarball., and rsynced to the latest versions.

Everything has been compiled with the default portage settings.

æ (like the ae in daemon) displays like an A with a tilde above it
ø (o with a frontslash) displays like an O with a tilde above it
Æ (large version of the ae) looks like an O with a frontslash
Ø (O with a front slash) looks like a +/- sign

æ          230              165
ø          248              162

Æ          198              216
Ø          216              198

i have XkbLayout = dk, and XkbVariant = nodeadkeys in /etc/XF86Config.
the chars work like a dream in the console.
