Package: console-tools Version: 1:0.2.3dbs-62 Severity: normal Tags: l10n
First of all, I'm not at all sure that this is the correct package to file against -- fell free to move it or point me in the right direction. Since my fileserver needed a reinstall it does not display Japanese characters properly anymore. This is only for text-mode connections (console, ssh). Upon closer examination my other Debian testing boxes show the same behaviour, but those run X so I didn't notice earlier. On the old install Japanese used to work out-of-the-box, though even that might have been broken recently, since files were mostly accessed via samba and that still works correctly. Might affect other languages but FWIW German is fine. AFAICS this is purely a display issue, the filenames are not mangled. Japanese characters are shown as one wide blank per character via ssh and one small filled rectangle per character on the console. Characters even get copy-pasted intact - if I paste a Japanese string into an ssh session I see only blanks but can use it normally, even command-complete with it if applicable. This might not be a bug but a configuration issue, either way it's driving me up the wall.
