Please, could someone do quick resume and tell me, what should be fixed in kbd package? I think that I did everything possible within kbd before. If this is request to add new glyphs to default Fedora font (latarcyrheb-sun16), then I must say - no, this is not possible. There is no free "slot" for another glyphs in this font and modifying existing glyphs should broke other languages... Changing the default font is definitely solution - there is no font, which cover glyphs from all languages around world. So if you need glyphs that are not in default font, then you must use alternative font. Note, that Liberation font (and other X fonts) are not part of kbd package. Kbd package covers text console only. This is not a request of adding new glyphs to default Fedora font (latarcyrheb-sun16), but to *Romanian Default Font* (/lib/kbd/consolefonts/Lat2-Terminus16.psf.gz). The Romanian has requested me to add glyphs on Liberation Fonts. Hence, this bug is purely a task request filed against console font. Thank you very much. Lat2-Terminus16 already has the following glyphs: - "T with comma below" (Unicode 021A) - "t with comma below" (Unicode 021B) - "S with comma below" (Unicode 0218) - "s with comma below" (Unicode 0219) I don't know about the hyphens but they can't be typed anyway. Created attachment 308507 [details] glyphs in ansi (converted by 'nafe' from pcf in 'kbd packag) nafe: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=116269&package_id=126269 I ain't sure if it has space for extra glyphs to be added? No, there's no space left. Maximum number of glyphs is 256 in psf format. But as Alexandru mentioned - t, T, s, S with comma bellow are present in Lat2-Terminus16 (this is the reason, why we packed it within kbd). Hi Răzvan, could you kindly test if a fresh installed F9 have problems on input/display/encode in Romanian console? Also, try to change /etc/sysconfig/i18n to the font mentioned by Alexandru and see if it resolves the problem. Hi Vitezslav, it might be nothing to be fixed if Răzvan resolved the problem with the above workaround. Besides, what could we do to ensure users got the best console through Fedora release update? Caius, I donw know exactly. Setting right font to /etc/sysconfig/i18n is anaconda job during fresh install (AFAIK), so I think it should be the same through release update. s/donw/don't :) requested by Jens Petersen (#27995) This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
