Hallo all!
I am russian, but I have FreeBSD 4.8 installed with onlu eng support. How
can I add ru support in my X (I am using KDE), and in console? Thank's
I think you need to modify the LANG environment variable in your .cshrc (or
whatever shell you're using). I'm not sure, however, whether it does modify
the language or only the character set.
In KDE, open the control center and go to Regional Accessibility -
Country/Region and Language.
You need to install the additional language pack first:
# cd /usr/ports/russian/kde3-i18n
# make install
To make the console work with Cyrillic characters, edit the /etc/ttys
file and change the console type from 'cons25' to 'cons25r'. Set the
console fonts to use the koi8 character set by assigning the variables
in /etc/rc.conf, and choose an appropriate keyboard map:
font8x14=koi8-r-8x14
font8x16=koi8-r-8x16
font8x8=koi8-r-8x8
keymap=ru.koi8-r
(or there are koi8-u- font variants. Not entirely sure what the
difference is there.) These will become the defaults at the next
reboot. See kbdmap(8)/vidfont(8) for an interactive tool for changing
the console fonts.
Cheers,
Matthew
