Compose characters in text console
Hi all ;),
I need help because i'm kind of lost ;). I'm trying to configure my
text console to be able to input text in utf-8. And is working..., except
for composed characters. After setting the console in Unicode mode, with
the script 'unicode_start', i'm able to input non us-ascii characters in
utf-8, but if i try to input a compose character, for example vowels with
acute tildes that i need to type spanish, i don't get the composed characters
on the screen. I'm able to read them, though, because cat'ting a file
with Latin1 characters in utf-8 enconding, shows all the characters
properly if the console is in unicode mode.
I've also tried it with different fonts, calling unicode_start with
'lat9w-14.psfu.gz' instead of using the 'LatArCyrHeb' default font, with
no better results.
I'm using kbd-1.12 and kernel 2.6.9.
Thanks in advance,
