Description Leonid Kanter 2001-07-03 15:24:17 UTC

Description of Problem:

unable to set cyrillic fonts

How Reproducible:

always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. create following /etc/sysconfig/i18n
(created by anaconda if Russian selected)

LANG="ru_RU.koi8r"
SUPPORTED="ru_RU.koi8r:ru_RU:ru"
SYSFONT="cyr-sun16"
SYSFONTACM="koi8-r"

2. reboot

Actual Results:

You'll see box drawing characters in place of cyrillic characters during boot

Expected Results:

There must be cyrillic characters, and they were with consoletools.

Additional Information:
	
font cyr-sun16, listed in anaconda's lang-table for Russian, Serbian and
Ukrainian, and screen maps koi8-r and koi8-u, are missed from kbd package.
Please take them from consoletools and include.

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-07-03 15:33:51 UTC

Actually they were renamed, not removed. Anaconda needs to create a new-style 
/etc/sysconfig/i18n.

Comment 2 Leonid Kanter 2001-07-03 16:17:26 UTC

I got the idea. It must be CHARSET=koi8-r or CHARSET=KOI8-R in
/etc/sysconfig/i18n. But required files are still missed. See what happens:

[root@t440 consoletrans]# mapscrn 8859-5
[root@t440 consoletrans]#
(OK)
But:
[root@t440 consoletrans]# mapscrn KOI8-R
mapscrn: cannot open map file _KOI8-R_
Or:
[root@t440 consoletrans]# mapscrn koi8-r
mapscrn: cannot open map file _koi8-r_

I can create and provide required files koi8-r_to_uni.trans,
koi8-u_to_uni.trans, cp1251_to_uni.trans.

In addition, I see no suitable replacement for cyr-sun16 font. It's the only
font containing all necessary for koi8-{r,u}/iso8859-5/cp1251 cyrillic
characters. If it was renamed, what's new name?

Comment 3 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-07-03 16:27:13 UTC

I don't speak russian, but in theory

mapscrn /lib/kbd/unimaps/koi8r.uni

should work, and the fonts
cyr_a8x14.psfu.gz
cyr_a8x16.psfu.gz
cyr_a8x8.psfu.gz
latarcyrheb-08.psfu.gz
latarcyrheb-14.psfu.gz
latarcyrheb-16.psfu.gz
latarcyrheb-16+.psfu.gz
latarcyrheb-19.psfu.gz

should be complete. Can you check this, please?

Comment 4 Leonid Kanter 2001-07-03 17:04:32 UTC

> mapscrn /lib/kbd/unimaps/koi8r.uni

yes, it works but it's difficult to call it from initscripts.

> cyr_a8x14.psfu.gz
> cyr_a8x16.psfu.gz
> cyr_a8x8.psfu.gz

All Ukrainian characters are missed.May not be used for uk_UA.

> latarcyrheb-08.psfu.gz
> latarcyrheb-14.psfu.gz
> latarcyrheb-16.psfu.gz
> latarcyrheb-16+.psfu.gz
> latarcyrheb-19.psfu.gz

Most characters are present, but 

<U0491>     /xad         CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER GHE WITH UPTURN
<U0490>     /xbd         CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER GHE WITH UPTURN

are absent. May not be used for uk_UA too.

proposed change to spec file

Comment 7 Leonid Kanter 2001-07-03 18:02:34 UTC

I rebuild package and verified that it works OK for Russian and Ukrainian locales.

LANG="ru_RU.koi8r"
SYSFONT="cyr-sun16"
CHARSET="koi8-r"
(Russian)

LANG="uk_UA"
SYSFONT="cyr-sun16"
CHARSET="koi8-u"
(Ukrainian)
So minimal change to anaconda required and no changes at all to initscripts.
