You need to write another termcap entry now for 8859-8 console instead of modifying fonts. See 8859-1 and 8859-2 termcap entries for example. > I'm not trying to convince you to include my font or something, just > trying to give you a full picture, including the problems the original > spec makes. There is no problems, just incorrect termcap entry. You shouldn't use standard console termcap entry for anything other then CP437. -- Andrey A.
