All right .... Manolis further adventures in greek characters....
Installment 34b (we last left our hero hanging from the utf character
set)
I have been able to get greek characters entered into fields without
them choking....
I took the advice given and changed my charset and keyboard to iso8859-7
which isn't as easy as it should be.... utf no problem it is the others
that ****.
HERE IS THE PROBLEM.... hee... and it took me a while to figure it out.
when you enter lower case greek characters.... it tries to convert them
to upper case.... heh... can you say choke... stack dump...crash!
I guess my next question is... can I map lower case to upper case greek
letters? oh... and there isn't a one to one correspondance either :)
I will worry about the soundex routines in another life.
I have to give much much thanks to everyone for their help.
I even learned something... although that was the last thing I wanted to
do :P
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
How I got to where I am....
I am running suse 9.2
I had to go into my XF86Config and change the keyboard
-----------------------------------------------------
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "keyboard"
Identifier "Keyboard[0]"
Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,el"
Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
EndSection
-----------------------------------------------------
Then I had to go to my language settings
/etc/sysconfig/language
and change RC_LANG
RC_LANG="el_GR.ISO-8859-7"
------------------------------------------------------
and I can honestly say that it probably won't work for you... :)
I did lots of other stuff too... but that seemed to be the bits that
worked.
