Hi folks! I'm posting to this list, because I didn't find anything more appropriate and the only answer I've received on "freebsd-i18n@freebsd.org" was a suggestion to post to "freebsd-current". I am interested in FreeBSD internationalization and unicode support. I already spent some time examining the source of syscons. I think that syscons is the main problem in bringing full UTF-8 support to FreeBSD out of box. It seems that I am ready with the solution. That's why I am writing to this list. I have following questions: 0) Is moving to UTF-8 from 8-bit codepages desired for FreeBSD? 1) Is unicode support in character-mode (I mean plain tty, not Xorg) FreeBSD human interface alreay implemented? 2) Is somebody working on that? 3) What is the correct branch to check out source code? From what repository? 4) What is the process of submitting changes? Alexander Churanov
