From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90) Although user can select trq (which is 99.9 % used by Turkish users), the Turkish console fonts do not exist in distributions. I have the correct fonts which is added as third part by all users but we want as default. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.run kbdconfig 2.select trq 3.although the keymap is defined due to turkish console fonts do not exist, users can not see some the characters they press. Actual Results: although the keymap is defined, due to the fact hat turkish console fonts do not exist, users can not see some the characters they press. Expected Results: the correct characters should be seen instead of strange characters My e-mail is: bdemircan and I can send most popular 3 turkish console fonts to you.
Created attachment 14944 [details] most popular 3 turkish console font which should come with default distributions
console fonts are included in the console-tools package. Assigning there.
Does kbd-1.05-3 (from Rawhide) work for you? It includes lat5-{12,14,16} fonts, which IMO should be sufficient, but unfortunately I can't read Turkish.
Yes you are right. Those fonts are now in these package with version 7.1 My bug was submitted when readhat 7.1 was not available. The problem is going on in a different way in readhat 7.1. Those fonts are perfect for turkish language but when a user selects trq with kbdconfig it just selects the correct keymap. The default font also should be selected as latin-5 (14) I solved my problem by changing /etc/sysconfig/i18n file as turkish settings.
Assigning to kbdconfig for that part of the problem.
kbdconfig doesn't actually handle console font assignment. Assigning to anaconda.
the next release is going to use lat5-sun16 which has full line drawing chars for the console.
