Package: console-tools
Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-62
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
First of all, I'm not at all sure that this is the correct package to
file against -- fell free to move it or point me in the right
direction.
Since my fileserver needed a reinstall it does not display Japanese
characters properly anymore. This is only for text-mode connections
(console, ssh). Upon closer examination my other Debian testing boxes
show the same behaviour, but those run X so I didn't notice
earlier. On the old install Japanese used to work out-of-the-box,
though even that might have been broken recently, since files were
mostly accessed via samba and that still works correctly.
Might affect other languages but FWIW German is fine.
AFAICS this is purely a display issue, the filenames are not mangled.
Japanese characters are shown as one wide blank per character via ssh
and one small filled rectangle per character on the console.
Characters even get copy-pasted intact - if I paste a Japanese string
into an ssh session I see only blanks but can use it normally, even
command-complete with it if applicable.
This might not be a bug but a configuration issue, either way it's
driving me up the wall.
Any help appreciated,
Christian
