[quoted lines by Lee Maschmeyer on March 12, 2003, at 13:57] >OK all you old Unix geezers, where'd I >mess up? The locale settings don't, in and of themselves, set the console (screen and keyboard) into any given mode. One hopes, however, that the system startup code does all the right things. This may, of course, vary from distribution to distribution. For the untrusting, though, and for the experimentally inclined, there are three commands which are of interest with respect to this isssue. The vt-is-UTF8 command tells you which mode your console is in. The unicode_start command puts your console into UTF8 mode. The unicode_stop command puts your console into single-byte mode. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
