Lenny. Boxed numbers instead of characters.

2009-09-28 Thread Mark Goldshtein
Hello, list!

Would you, please, help me to fix something in Lenny, that cause
improper displaying of non-English characters? As you may see in the
attachments, there is a big difference in characters on Ubuntu 9.04
screen and on Lenny's screen.

'locale' output is exactly the same in both systems:

$ locale

LANG=en_US.UTF-8

LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8

LC_NUMERIC=en_US.UTF-8

LC_TIME=en_US.UTF-8

LC_COLLATE=en_US.UTF-8

LC_MONETARY=en_US.UTF-8

LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8

LC_PAPER=en_US.UTF-8

LC_NAME=en_US.UTF-8

LC_ADDRESS=en_US.UTF-8

LC_TELEPHONE=en_US.UTF-8

LC_MEASUREMENT=en_US.UTF-8

LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_US.UTF-8

LC_ALL=


How to bring Lenny to the same correct result as shown by Ubuntu?

Thanks in advance!

It's not a problem with the locales. You simply do not have japanese  
fonts in your Debian box.


'aptitude search ttf' or 'aptitude search font' give a lot of font  
packages. Look for one with the characters you need.

Maybe there is a sort of 'universal' font does exist? A font which
cover most of characters?

Well, unifont has a glyph for each visible Unicode 5.1 Plane 0 character
It isn't great, but it is better than boxes.
