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.

Working UTF-8 support with newt frontend?
I believe the newt frontend should be handling UTF-8 characters fairly well now. The new rootskel package will turn on UTF-8 support in the linux console. This is supposed to work on 2.4 kernels. My test displays æøå, but I am not sure if it will display characters outside ISO-8859-1. Can anyone test this? I'm not sure which langauge uses non-latin1 charactesr, so I do not know which langauge to choose to test this. We also need to test if it work for asian characters. The borders are broken. Instead of the nice lines it used to display, it shows other strange characters. No idea why. This might work with the other frontends as well. I haven't tested.
