I have also had this problem with every FC1 box I have built and run Asterisk on.
I usually don't touch the console of linux boxes, but it would be nice to just ALT-F9 and leave that console up eternally. But I got the same unreadable text for the colored text, and sometimes even non colored lines. This is what I did to resolve this. Edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n and change the SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" to SYSFONT="lat0-sun16". This worked for me in the US. If you look in /lib/kbd/consolefonts you will see a listing of all the console fonts that FC1 comes with. -Albert Chaffman -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tony Mountifield Sent: Monday, February 28, 2005 4:43 PM To: asterisk-users@lists.digium.com Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Re: Strange text on Asterisk console In article <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Carlos Chavez <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, 28 Feb 2005 20:58:48 +0000 (UTC), Tony Mountifield wrote > > I've just set up a new box with FC1+updates and the latest Stable > > Asterisk from CVS. > > > > Asterisk is started with the default safe_asterisk script with a > > console on TTY9. > > > > The coloured text on this console is made up of weird characters > > instead of normal.

No, when I installed the OS, I selected only English(Great Britain). Only some of the characters appear to be Cyrillic. The point is, only the coloured text is affected: the normal text is OK. Anyone actually seen this behaviour before?
