Eduard, you might like to try > the same trick for de. If it seems to work on its own, it should be Okay, I start bterm with the unifont.bdf (recoded). Now, I do unset LANG export LANG=de.utf-8 (as you said) and when I start modconf, all lines are shortened after the first non-ASCII char. On boot floppies (I built with *-utf8 variants, double-checked), this effect does appear in the menubox, but in the description text each non-ASCII letter is replaced with two ??. > straightforward to make boot-floppies set the right environment variables. I do not think that this is an problem of the enironment. Even if something is set wrong, whiptail/libnewt may misinterpret some chars, but not hide parts of lines, making the whole text unreadable. Just for fun, I set "LANG=ja.utf-8". And - almost the whole text was away, only the labels of menu entries (ASCII) were visible. If you ask me, there is an ugly bug somewhere in whiptail. If I do something like: whiptail --yesno "Test mit Umlauten: � � �" 20 20 whiptail crashes, and sometimes the whole bterm freezes. Note that the same works with dialog. OTOH, when I replace whiptail with dialog in modconfs "dialog" file, it works sometimes (and even then it presents UTF8 chars as 2-char-ascii sequences) but mostly it has even worse picture than with whiptail. So if you ask me: run modconf with LANG=C and don't change it unless libnewt/whiptail upstream has fixed all the bugs.
