Re: Working UTF-8 support with newt frontend?
I worked on this yesterday, and discovered that the UTF-8 characters will be properly displayed if d-i/build/graphic.utf is printed in the console. I also discovered that whiptail also got the same problem. Check out http://bugs.debian.org/187704> for the bug report and a test script. I belive the problem is in slang, failing to convert the linux termcap values for linedrawing into UTF-8. I hope the newt maintainer know more and will reply quickly. :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Add cdebconf-newt-udeb or cdebconf-slang-udeb to build/pkg-lists/cdrom/common and build the cdrom imgae. I don't know if they'll fit on the net floppy. Oh, make sure you have slang1-utf8-pic and libnewt-utf8-pic intalled. /M -- Martin Sjögren [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG key: http://www.mdstud.chalmers.se/~md9ms/gpg.html let hello = "hello" : hello in putStr (unlines hello) signature.asc Description: Detta =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=E4r?= en digitalt signeradmeddelandedel
