Description Alexandru Szasz 2007-09-18 11:15:53 UTC

Description of problem:

Also MAYBE related to kbd component:

The default console font (latarcyrheb-sun16 in Fedora) does not
include all the characters needed to display correctly the romanian
language.

Characters È™È›È˜Èš (s,t with comma) and â€ (right double quotation mark) are not
available in latarcyrheb-sun16.

I found that LatArCyrHeb-16.psfu DOES have them. Is it possible to associate a
font with a keymap or language?


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load the romanian keymap presented in bug 292091
2. Run "setfont latarcyrheb-sun16"
3. Type Altgr+s, Alt gr+t, Altgr + ]
  
Actual results:

Wrong symbols are displayed. Instead of the right double quotation mark (Altgr +
]) there's a simple quotation mark displayed. Similar but not equal.

Expected results:

The correct characters should be displayed

Additional info:

If you follow the steps :
1. Load the romanian keymap presented in bug 292091
2. Run "setfont LatArCyrHeb-16"
3. Type Altgr+s, Alt gr+t, Altgr + ]

everything is ok, so I guess this can be fixed only if there is a possibility to
change the console font when changing the keymap (e.g lang=ro in kernel command
line)

Another solution may be to modify the font latarcyrheb-sun16. Tell me if it's
possible, I can give the details to who's in charge of that.

If this association or change is not possible, please say what can be done even
if not right now.

I've changed component to anaconda, because this is not kbd bug. BTW
latarcyrheb-sun16 does have s, S, t, T with comma below, it only doesn't have
this specific double quotation mark. Maybe you have to fill another bug against
system-config-language, but I'm definitely not sure.

Comment 2 Alexandru Szasz 2007-09-24 11:55:47 UTC

I found that system-config-language could fix this by changing the "locale-list"
file from system-config-language sources:

Line 
    ro_RO.UTF-8 utf8 latarcyrheb-sun16 Romanian 
should be changed to
    ro_RO.UTF-8 utf8 LatArCyrHeb-16 Romanian

Of course, this only if the LatArCyrHeb-16 font is here to stay and will not be
removed in the future.

I am not sure if this would set the font to LatArCyrHeb-16 in console during
anaconda installation as well.

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2007-10-02 21:05:55 UTC

anaconda has its own list that is similar to the one in system-config-language.
 I'll fix that up in anaconda and reassign this one to the correct owner since
it's still set to anaconda-maint-list.

Comment 4 Liang Zhang 2007-10-09 06:03:34 UTC

I fixed this bug in system-config-language-1.2.12.
