Thanks. I actually had everything already setup the same way everyone else said except you. I added those fonts, added them to my xorg.conf fonthpaths and restarted X and it works. - Ian
[gentoo-user] utf fonts not working right
http://www.openmobilefree.net/index.php?entry=entry090125-211840 This page works fine on default fonts of other distros. For me, its got blocks for all the asian characters. I've been through the gentoo documentation utf guide. I'm using deja-vu font in firefox, although it seems to be the same on some other random fonts i've tried. The utf-8 guide says to enable cjk use flag but that seems to be deprecated since equery says its only used by 4 packages, none of which I have installed. Why does gentoo not default to utf-8 support? - Ian
Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} Why RAID1?
Get the best of both worlds with raid 5. Personally, I do raid 0 and I agree with you on raid redundancy not being very useful. Backup ftw. I cycle out my hard drives every year or two and make the old ones be backups, I've only ever had the backups die. - Ian
Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] One line script for md5sum
token* is the best. I also have this useful script in my bashrc.
its just an extended version of this.
[[ $(md5sum < file1) == $(md5sum < file2) ]]
so you can just give it two files as its argument and it returns 0 if they are
the same. -v for verbose
md5() {
local v x y;
[[ $1 == -v ]] && [[ $# == 3 ]] && { v=true; shift; }
if [[ $# != 2 ]]; then
[[ $v ]] && echo Error: need 2 arguments.
return 2
fi
if [[ $v ]]; then
x=$(md5sum < "$1" ) || return 2
y=$(md5sum < "$2" ) || return 2
else
{ x=$(md5sum < "$1" ) ;} &> /dev/null || return 2
{ y=$(md5sum < "$2" ) ;} &> /dev/null || return 2
fi
if [[ $x == $y ]]; then
[[ $v ]] && echo Same.
return 0
else
[[ $v ]] && echo Different.
return 1
fi
}

And my locale stuff seems to work fine. Do you actually have those files on your computer or did you just type them from memory and get them wrong? I do locale -a and get: C POSIX en_US en_US.iso88591 en_US.utf8 also, I do locale-gen and it succeeds and I don't get any of the files you mentioned. Heres my suggestion to the original poster. I would heed the warning in the gentoo guide not to set LC_ALL. I also have a lot of other files under those directories and I would just leave them alone, but if you want to delete them, just move them so you can move them back later if it doesn't help. I think one of your problems might be that you need to set all your locale variables in 02locale. Then do "eselect env update" and relogin. Also you should have 644 permissions on these files. cat /etc/env.d/02locale LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="POSIX" 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" cat /etc/locale.gen en_US ISO-8859-1 en_US.utf8 UTF-8

do you have a ~/.vimrc? Try :map u and see if there is a mapping. - Ian Supreme wrote: > Thanks for your reply, > > I dont have gvim installed. I'll install it and see if I get the same error.
