Public bug reported:
I've just upgraded my feisty install to gutsy and noticed this
behaviour. I've did 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup' and set
croatian font and keyboard, and after update-initramfs finishes I can
write croatian (latin) letters in console. Then, if I switch to X
session with alt-f7 and back with ctrl-alt-fx the console font is unset
and instead of croatian letters I get only garbage. If I do 'setupcon'
it's back on normal and I have croatian letters but next time I switch
to X and back it gets unset again.
First I have think that problem is with console-setup package but the
problem is with nvidia drivers I use. If I set to nv or vesa driver in
xorg.conf everything works as expected.
To replikate:
Run sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup and just change font, for
example Terminus 16 to Terminus 14.
Switch to X with Alt-F7
Switch back to console Ctrl-Alt-Fx
And the font is now back to the original one (eg. "Terminus 16").
I've also tried this to be sure it's a driver problem, after my console font
gets unset I did:
vi test.txt - (entered something with croatian letters and saved, but in
console I can se only garbage)
Switched back to X with Alt-F7 and opened test.txt in gedit and my croatian
characters are displayed correctly.
If you need any more information please let me know!
