Yes, Andries said that he'll not submit the patch because of the problems he mentioned in his mail. But he at least answered in LKML and give a response to Chris. I don't understand the lack of interest :( of the rest of kernel and linux console developers in something as important as adding complete utf-8 support... > The way I see it is to write a description of the task to enable better > Unicode on the Linux console (use framebuffer?) I think that would be the way to go, mainly because of CJK that cannot be represented on the console with the limitations of console fonts... regards, -- David GÃmez Jabber ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
