In the 0.2.0 version there are four variants of the bicon-8x16-512 console font (.psfu.gz) : one of these (-marks) was able to render all the output from date in fa_IR, so you could try that. The other variants had problems with the beginning/ending glyphs. No idea if the rendered output is sensible (you might need the bidirectional console from that package, I think the problematic glyphs might be the indications to start/stop right-to-left text. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
