Hello!
Hi!
I am using cde-current on FreeBSD. I selected en_US.UTF-8 in the
dtlogin, but I see that non-latin characters (e.g. Cyrillic) are not
displayed properly in dterm (and maybe others). German umlauts work
when en_US.UTF-8 is being selected instead of C.
dtterm definitely has some issues with UTF-8. Would be great if it
could be fixed properly.
Is that a problem of the language/charset setting or is that simply not
supported?
In dtterm's case, I think it's a problem with dtterm itself. I found
that many UTF8 symbols worked fine in dtpad for example.
Is it possible to provide additional charsets for login and $LANG, like
de_DE.UTF-8?
You can enable other languages during the build - see ./configure --help
output. You can enable the German locale with --enable-german on the
configure command line. Of course you should have the de_DE.UTF8 locale
installed before building. By default, only the English locale
(en_US.UTF-8) locale is built, with link to the C locale.
Ideally we would get XFT with truetype fonts working, but that's likely
a big job, and no one wants to do it :)
