* Junichi Uekawa | Last time I checked (which is a long long time ago), debconf had a | design problem with utf-8 (the debconf templates are not in utf-8, | and it is not automatically obvious which character code they are in). | Does cdebconf inherit the same problem? Does it convert to utf-8 on the | fly?
The charset in the templates are undefined, but if we decide that we want it to be UTF-8 then that won't be a problem. (Just a small policy decision.) The frontend would have to know how to convert it into something which displays properly, though. Does anybody have a problem with having the templates in UTF8? | What is a bogl frontend ? Is it very different from newt-utf8 that | boot-floppies uses? : tfheen@arabella ..heen/debian-installer/doc > apt-cache show bogl-bterm Package: bogl-bterm [...] Description: Ben's Own Graphics Library - graphical terminal Ben's Own Graphics Library is a small framebuffer library, including basic widgets, support for text in multiple languages, and mouse handling. . This package contains bterm, a utf-enabled framebuffer terminal. Right now there is a ncurses and a slang frontend, I am not sure of the state of those, but it should be possible to link the better of them against something-utf8 or create a newt-utf8 frontend. -- Tollef Fog Heen ,''`.
