Right? = = No, it use \200 for horizontal lines as specified in koi8-r Well, let me rephrase it. Are ALL of the pseudo-graphics symbols available in ASCII also available in KOI8-R (even if at different positions)? If they are, you are right. If some of them are replaced by Cyrillic characters, you are wrong, because then there is no qualitative difference between koi8-u and koi8-r -- only quantitative and koi8-u can be used for the same intents and purposes as koi8-r. In any case, I'd suggest we make a symlink koi8 -> koi8-u for compatibility with OpenBSD if for no other reasons. => I think, cons*koi would be a good choice, would not it? =No. Existen termnal names would not be renamed, it breaks users setup. I meant, adding an alias: +++ /etc/termcap # KOI8-R FreeBSD console with ACS support -cons25r|pc3r|ibmpc3r|cons25-koi8-r:\ +cons25r|cons25u|pc3r|pc3u|ibmpc3r|cons25-koi8-r|cons25-koi8-u|cons25-koi8:\ =You need to modify rc.conf manually too in any case. Yes, to have the fonts loaded. I thought, that's all it takes (or including the fonts in kernel, which is what I do). Having to edit /etc/ttys (and merge the changes every time) is annoying :( I don't see, how this can be overcome easily, however. May be, teach the termcap to look for: $TERM-$CHARSET prior to looking for $TERM itself in the database (with charset being obtained from LANG)?
