Re: Problem with console and locales [SOLVED]
Awesome!! Thank you very much Mr. Florian Kulzer! You hit the nail on the head, plus you explained the issue in a very clear and easy way. I'll convert all my files to utf8, set my editors correctly and ofcourse add that package into my tex files header. I'm happy now. :D Cheers!

Maybe the file itself is not encoded in utf-8. Try to run "file" on it:
$ file test1.txt test2.txt
test1.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text
test2.txt: ISO-8859 text
(I created two short test files for this demonstration.)
$ hd test1.txt test2.txt
43 c3 b3 72 64 6f 62 61 0a 43 f3 72 64 6f 62 61 |C..rdoba.C.rdoba|
0010 0a|.|
You see that the "ó" character is encoded as 0xc3 0xb3 (2 bytes) in
utf-8, but as 0xf3 (1 byte) in iso8859-1. Therefore, things can go
wrong:
$ cat test1.txt test2.txt
Córdoba
C�rdoba
My utf-8-based terminal does not understand the iso-8859 encoded "ó" and
prints a placeholder symbol instead. The "�" shows up as a question mark
sign in my X terminal and as a white square on my tty with the terminus
font.
You can convert the text to utf-8 with the "iconv" utility and then it
should work:
$ iconv -f iso8859-1 -t utf8 test2.txt > test3.txt
$ cat test3.txt
Córdoba
The problem is that plain text files do not necessarily contain a header
that specifies the encoding, therefore a program that has to process the
text might not interpret the byte sequences correctly. (The "file"
utility analyzes the file and determines the encoding, but many other
programs just use some default setting.) The best approach is probably
to convert everything to utf-8 and set the defaults of all editors and
pagers accordingly.
If you have filenames with non-standard characters then the "convmv"
package can help to convert them so that they show up correctly on an
utf-8 setting.
Finally, don't forget that you have to put
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
into the preamble of your latex documents for latex to process the
special characters in a utf-8 input file correctly.

That looks all OK to me. If you want you can try whether console-setup
supports the "la" XKBVARIANT, then the two configurations would be
identical.

Re: Problem with console and locales
Awesome... we are on the road now, I've tried console-setup package in combination with the console-terminus fonts as you told me, but the issue still remains. When I use "more" I see a "white square" instead of "á - ú or ñ" characters, and when I check the text file with aspell it does not show these special characters neither (shows "C rdoba" instead of "Córdoba"). Maybe if I show you some of mine configuration files we can solve this: # Euclides:/etc# egrep -v "^\#|^$" locale.gen en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 Euclides:/etc# locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Euclides:/etc# egrep -v "^\#|^$" default/console-setup VERBOSE_OUTPUT=no ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]" CHARMAP="UTF-8" CODESET="Lat15" FONTFACE="TerminusBold" FONTSIZE="20x10" XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="es" XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys" XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch,compose:rwin" BOOTTIME_KMAP_MD5="80842f76431ec5259444e6b8f4a53b62" # my xorg.conf file contains: # Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "es" Option "XkbVariant""la" EndSection # Thank you in Advance On Feb 3, 2008 12:46 PM, Florian Kulzer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Jan 30, 2008 at 21:03:30 -0200, Andres Migliazzo wrote: > > [...] > > > I have a similar question...

Which locale do you use at the moment? Run "locale" to find out. I use "en_US.UTF-8" and the console-setup package in combination with the console-terminus fonts. These are my settings in /etc/default/console-setup: CHARMAP="UTF-8" CODESET="Lat15" FONTFACE="TerminusBold" FONTSIZE="20x10" XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="es" XKBVARIANT="nodeadkeys" XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch,compose:rwin" This gives me access to all the special characters used in Spanish, as well as to other symbols (e.g. "ø") by means of the right-Windows key which acts as a "compose" key. Of course, characters like ñ, ¿, ¡, º, etc. can be entered directly by using their dedicated keys. If you prefer to have "dead" accent keys (most of my Spanish colleagues seem to like this configuration) then you can omit the XKBVARIANT=... line.

Re: Problem with console and locales
Alejandro, how was that?
were you able to set up in the way you want?
I have a similar question... I'm wondering if is doable to set up your
debian system in English and read special characters (like á-ú,ñ) in the tty
console. I'm a TeX user and use to do a spelling check using aspell (#aspell
-t -c file.tex --lang=es), but when I've to do texts in Spanish I'm not able
to see the special characters because it's not supported by my system. For
instance, instead of "Córdoba" you see "C rdoba), and when you use a file
parser like more, you see funny characters in "ó" place.
Does anyone have a clue how to set up my system to achieve this?
Best Regards.

Run
export LC_ALL="es_MX.UTF-8" LANG="es_MX.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="es_MX.UTF-8"
right before you try "dpkg-reconfigure locales" again. Then make
es_MX.UTF-8 the system-wide default. Afterwards log out, log in again
and verify the settings by running "locale".
Then execute
echo -e "S\0303\0241inz"
and check if this prints your last name correctly. If you get two
"weird" characters instead of the accented a, then your terminal does
not understand UTF-8. If you get one placeholder character (a box or a
question mark), then your font is missing the "á" symbol.

Thanks. Dear Alejandro, While this may not be helpful, I would just want you to check if the font you are using for your console supports the characters you want. Earlier, I faced similar problems which vanished when I chose the right font. Try DejaVu Sans Mono, for instance. HTH.
