"Text rendering"
Always with mandrake 9.0
The object area without font's attribute show false character but if the
content is saved in a file and if we print this content (cat or other), the
characters are correct.
The command kbd_mode shows that in KDE we are in raw mode and
if we use kbd_mode on the linux console before to start KDE, we are
in Xlate mode (ascii).
These informations to help anyone who wish determine the cause of
troubles in the accentuated letters with mandrake 9.0
Thanks a lot, Gabriele.
