Description Marek Kassur 2002-10-21 21:22:44 EDT

Description of Problem:

Polish national characters are not displayed correctly with
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16".
However they work with "lat2-16" and other sizes (from 8 to 16) excluding
lat2-sun16 and lat2a-16 which also behave badly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How Reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set language and keyboard to Polish
2. Press Alt+a


Actual Results:
Messed up font.

Expected Results:
Should be a with comma - a, (&#261;)


Additional Information:
My i18n:

LANG="pl_PL.UTF-8"
SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en:pl_PL.UTF-8:pl_PL:pl"
SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16"

Comment 1 David Balažic 2002-11-20 17:32:15 EST

I have similar problems with slovenian characters ( "c,s,z,C,S,Z" with caron ( 
a little "v" on top of them )).

Changing SYSFONT to lat2-16 in /etc/sysconfig/i18n helps.
