(My first sending of this didn't seam to go through)
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
Again,
Thanks !
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
