While I have to agree about bad support of Russian in both console and X, it is still possible to configure. This is what I do have in my /etc/sysconfig/i18n: LANGUAGE="en_US.utf8" LANG="en_US.utf8" LC_LOCALE="ru_RU.utf8" LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.utf8" And here is the content of my /etc/sysconfig/keyboard: KEYTABLE="ru1" I am still fighting with several problems in console, but in X everything works fine. I had to move away from gnome-terminal and konsole, though to the plain-old-bug-free (grin) xterm. This is how I start xterm: LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 xterm -fn '-Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-Normal--20-200-75-75-C-100-ISO10646-1' -bg black -fg green Midnight Commander does not understand utf-8, but at least it uses pseudo-graphics properly. There are also few other problems with unicode, specifically for me - icq and irc. As to the question of mp3 support, I support Redhat. Those, who miss the functionality, can get it back easily by installing xmms/mpg123 from http://freshrpms.net . Those RPMs are specifically built for latest versions of RedHat and DO work. Try them. There have been a lot of UTF-8 improvements. Not sure if the original report actually is a bug or bad configuration, but closing RAWHIDE. |
