From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030208 Netscape/7.02 Description of problem: Virtual terminals 7-11 enabled via inittab (or openvt -c11 bash). Data displayed on these terminals that is intended to be in color or bold is displayed in the proper color (or bold), but with cyrillic characters. (e.g. output of ls, vi, or man) man foo | col -b gives correct characters, but no bold ls --color=never gives correct characters, but no color stty -a produces same data for all virtual terminals LC_ALL can be defined to en_US.UTF-8 with no effect Problem does not exist with RedHat 7.3 (/etc/termcap is same on both systems) Some unknown action can remove problem temporarily. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to vt 7 -> 11 (or openvt -c10 bsah..) 2. vi anyfile or ls (--color=auto) with files that are exec or directories 3. or...man man Actual Results: any text that is intended to be bold or in color is so, but the characters are cyrillic Expected Results: expected Latin Additional info:
