Hey,
Still working on getting Central European fonts working. I've
found out that I need to use iso-8859-2, which X supports, but
I'm not too sure about any console apps.
Someone on the pine list told me that pine certainly will, -- I
just had to change the character set to iso-8859-2, so when I
open an e-mail from one person from Poland, I no longer see this:
[ The following text is in the "iso-8859-2" character set. ]
[ Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set. ]
[ Some characters may be displayed incorrectly. ]
But, still, the characters in Polish not common to us-ascii
(which are supposed to be in Latin-2, the iso above) continue to
simply be odd symbols.
OK. So where -- other than .Xdefaults (which may be common to
gentoo -- installing that Sunday -- but not common to RH which I
have running right now) would I set this? I really don't think
I've ever seen any file which actually says "US-ASCII" in it,
other than pine -- but that's (supposedly) now fixed.
I looked through various files in /etc, but still can't find
any of them dealing with character sets other than one with many
#'s.
Any idea?
Meph
