Re: State of Unicode collation support in FreeBSD?
2013/9/10 Wolfgang Zenker wolfg...@lyxys.ka.sub.org: * David Demelier demelier.da...@gmail.com [130910 10:26]: 2013/8/28 Wolfgang Zenker wolfg...@lyxys.ka.sub.org: [crossposted to -stable and -i18n] could someone point me to infos regarding Unicode collation support in FreeBSD? All I could find was https://wiki.freebsd.org/KonradJankowski/Collation but that page has not been changed in more than two years. Looking at sources of -current it doesn't look like those changes made it into the source tree yet. I think no one is really interested to add real UTF-8 support to Syscons. Currently you can get UTF-8 output by using Syscons xterm ttys (which is default) and set your appropriate locales. For input it's currently (unfortunately) not supported. If you use X.Org, then your fine using UTF-8. There might be a misunderstanding: Collation is about ordering characters and sorting strings. What we have in FreeBSD right now is support for input and output of utf-8 characters, and with X11 and the right set of fonts they display ok, and at least using vim editing utf-8 text works ok. But sorting utf-8 strings yields interesting results as soon as you have non-ascii characters in your strings. Aaah, okay sorry I really did misunderstanding the question yes ;-).

This is about sort, postgres and other software. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
