Cc: questions@freebsd.org Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi, Use vidfont(1) to find the font you want to use. Here in western Europe that'll probabyl be ISO8859-1. Then set the font8x8, font14x8 and font16x8 variables in /etc/sysconfig to the font name that is output by vidfont. THis will usually be iso-font8x8, iso-font14x8 and iso-font16x8. Works great for me! Also, is your LANG variable correctly set? This can be done in /etc/profile. That way, vi talks German to me, and maybe it also speaks French! In /etc/profile you can also set MM_CHARSET, although I don't know what that's for... c u Jo On 29-Apr-97 at 07:24:54 Christophe Prevotaux wrote: >Hi > >I am using FreeBSD 2.1.7 and I could use my French keyboard with no problems >at all , however I would like to be able to see french characters on my >ttys and main console as well as virtual consoles . > >How can I do this ? > > >===================================================================== >Christophe Prevotaux | HEXANET SARL >HEXANET System Administrator | Z.A Farman Sud > | 9 rue Roland Coffignot >Email : nighty@hexanet.fr | BP415 51689 Reims Cedex 2 FRANCE >Irc : nighty | Tel: +33 (0)3 26 79 30 05 >URL : http://www.hexanet.fr/ | Fax: +33 (0)3 26 79 30 06 >===================================================================== >ISP/IAP | WEB Developement | Intranet | Network Administration >Custom Software Development| Network Installation >===================================================================== ----------------------------------------------------------------------- For a world of pedigree OSs FreeBSD - top breeders recommend it Joachim Kuebart Tel: +49 711 653706 Germany
