No idea regarding the font issues. | | The charset encoding is utf8, so I created an LC_TYPE with a UTF2 | encoding. And that's about as far as I have gone. | I suppose next thing I have to do is create a keyboard map and a screen map. | Keymap.5 was helpfull about the first, but I'm not too sure about | what a screen map is and what I have to do about it. What's the | relationship between a font file, a keyboard map, and a screen | map (my most important question)? | | The amharic character set contains something between 300-400 | characters, so I was wondering how some other languages with | more thatn 127 characters manage to work on the console. How do | you map 2 or more keystrokes to one character? A basic | outline or pointer would really help. | reference ports/chinese/zhcon or big5con | My initial goal is to be able to cat a utf8 encoded amharic | text file. | I don't think FreeBSD has UTF8 support in console yet. Your best route would be to use X to do so. | Cheers, | Mike. | -- | GPG Key: http://www.identd.net/~mtm/gpg.key | pub 1024D/7D39509A 2002-10-08 Mike Makonnen <mtm@identd.net> | Key fingerprint = 5491 488A 0445 2DCC 777B 1F03 F3AB F9F8 7D39 509A ------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message
