I upgraded my LFS 6.1.1 from 2.6.23 to 2.6.24 and now all 8-bit
characters appear as a reverse-video question mark in the terminal.
At least this is true for the pound sign in emacs, and accented
characters in mutt. If I run emacs in xterm the pound signs are OK.
The local Linux Users Group suggested running "unicode_start", which
changed the font but otherwise didn't help, and running:
kbd_mode -u
echo -n -e '\033%G'
setfont latarcyrheb-sun16
...which also didn't help and complained it couldn't find the font
latarcyrheb-sun16 .
I didn't touch anything outside /boot when I upgraded. Ages ago I
customised /etc/sysconfig/console to set KEYMAP="uk" and
FONT="lat1-14" , but that's the only change.
Any ideas?
