Description Yves L'ECUYER 2006-08-26 09:28:35 UTC 
As I reported in bug 159706 for fedora core 4, to manage correctly the option
i18n in setsysfont:

BUGGY lines in
/sbin/setsysfont:
------------------------
 
    if [ ! -f /lib/kbd/consoletrans/$SYSFONTACM_to_uni.trans ]; then
        SYSFONTACM=`echo $SYSFONTACM | sed "s|iso0|8859-|g;s|iso|8859-|g"`
    fi
 
  fi


must become:
  
    if [ ! -f /lib/kbd/consoletrans/${SYSFONTACM}_to_uni.trans ]; then
        SYSFONTACM=`echo $SYSFONTACM | sed "s/iso0/8859-/g;s/iso/8859-/g"`
    fi

Unfortunately, in fedora 5 only the first line is corrected, but in the second
line, the pattern matching for sed expression is STILL with pipe "|" instead of
"/", so processing of SYSFONTACM still doesn't work !
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2006-10-18 21:00:19 UTC 
I can't reproduce this here - setting SYSFONTACM to (for example) iso15 works,
in that I get 8859-15 out.

Note that this is, in essence, supporting a config written by pre-kbd packages,
which is a few years ago at this point.
Comment 2 Miloslav Trmač 2006-11-10 20:06:48 UTC 
The sed 's' command can use any characer as a separator, not only a slash.
