I'm also seeing this here.
/etc/vconsole.conf:
FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16
KEYMAP=de
/etc/locale.conf:
LANG=de_AT.UTF-8
(and no kernel parameters overriding those settings, grub2-mkconfig no longer writes those).
(The keymap is also ignored, I get a US keyboard on the consoles!) It looks like this is dracut's fault: dracut just does not include vconsole.conf and locale.conf in the initramfs at all! After adding: install_items+=" /etc/vconsole.conf /etc/locale.conf " to /etc/dracut.conf, I get bug #970030 instead. But the keymap is still the US one. > But the keymap is still the US one. Nevermind, I had just "de" set rather than "de-latin1", and it looks like de is a mix between de-latin1 and us (it has the US key assignments where the umlauts should be). So, to sum up, I see 2 issues: 1. dracut not installing vconsole.conf in the initramfs by default and 2. bug #970030 or something with similar symptoms (sounds like the result of Karel Volný's step 3 in the original post of this bug). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 970030 *** |
Description of problem: Despite great efforts to fix unicode problems related to F19 release name, utf-8 still fails, wrong characters are displayed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-204-9.fc19 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 19 in Czech language, for example. 2. Try to work in text console. 3. Try to use some nondefault font like Terminus (install terminus-fonts-console, set FONT="ter-v16n" in vconsole.conf and on kernel commandline, dracut -f, reboot) Actual results: 2. instead of the apostrophe in "Schrödinger's cat" which is not exactly apostrophe a square is displayed many czech characters (especially with carons) are mangled; "ý" is replaced with "y", "Á" with "A" etc. 3. everything is much worse; in addition to the abovementioned substitutions multiple characters (all of "ěĚšŠčČřŘžŽůŮňŇťŤ" to name) are replaced with "Ł" Expected results: all characters displayed properly - I'm using the abovementioned Terminus variant ter-v16n on a Gentoo system and all Czech characters work perfectly there Additional info: # localectl status System Locale: LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8 VC Keymap: cz-lat2 X11 Layout: cz X11 Variant: qwerty
