tty1 and italian charset ...
Hi all,
I'm not sure not to be OT, if so plz apologize me...
I'm fighting against a problem with "òàèìù" characters on my laptop since I switched to 2.6.0 ... The problem persists nowaday with 2.67 (various recompilations, with or without nvidia module loaded, and so on ...)
I already used "loadkeys it" and it seems to success, but tty1 still doesn't prints "òàèìù" characters.
The very strange thing, that let me suppose some kerenl-related issue, is that _every_ other tty is working fine, as it does every xterm session...
I'mwriteing now becouse just iesterday I installed a new server and I got the same problem here.
My laptop is running a Debian SID, the new server is running a Debian Sarge.
On both machines I'm using 2.6.7 (both debian binaries and a self compiled vanilla) with udev, sysfs and hotplug... my console-tools version is 0.2.3
Any suggestion ???
thank you in advance

Sounds like you're trying to print Latin-1 on an UTF-8 console or vice versa.
echo -ne '\\033%G' -- Enable UTF-8 echo -ne '\\033%@' -- Disable UTF-8 -hpa

uh ??
no sorry, you are not seeing the characters I'm trying to type... my charset is setted (on system-wide basis) to it_IT@EURO, no UTF-8 ... btw, tryng to use UTF-8, iso-15, iso-1 and so on does not affect the problem.
The characters I'm tring to print are the "italian single letter" that on a us keyboard I would type as " a ", " e ", " e' ", " i ", "o ", " u` " ...
I repeat that the strange thing is that _only_ tty1 as this strange beahviour .. not dipending on the user logged in (infact I have this problem already at login time, when I have to type the login name... If I'd have a login name containing one of this characters I could not login from tty1)...
Is tty1 somehow special in respect to other ttys ???

(If it is not that, then investigate your font, etc. This is probably not a kernel matter.)
yep, I tried them ... without the double backslash :-)
they just turn UTF-8 on/off ... no change about my problem.
What problem in my font ?? why should my font works wrong _only_ on tty1 ???
is there a place in kernel where I could set a wrong font for console, and a reason explaining why this affects only tty1 ?

thanx to Andries suggestion I forced SCREEN_FONT=lat0-sun16 in /etc/console-tools/config ... now it works fine :-)
