http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1052740 Bug ID: 1052740 Summary: convert X keyboards into kbd and set unicode console font for languages with non-Latin alphabets Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: openSUSE Factory Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: opensuse.lietuviu.kalba@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Now openSUSE for languages with Latin alphabets use converted keyboard layouts from X into kbd, also use unicode console font (as converted layouts supports it). Remaining task is to do same transition for non-Latin console keyboard layouts and set appropriate console font. Perhaps we should preconfigure option to switch between native and US QWERTY in console for these non-Latin languages and keyboard layouts. As noted in https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=942896#c70 , As noted in https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=942896#c69 Greek seems not have converted console keyboard layout from X into kbd. For Greek perhaps we can use eurlatgr console font (like for Latin alphabets) All Cyrillic layouts now use UniCyr_8x16.psf font, but this font seems to be compatible with cp866, cp1251, iso8859-5 and koi8-r (according http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Belarusian-HOWTO/x28.html) and not compatible with unicode per se. But openSUSE seems don't provide converted layouts for Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Tajik. For Cyrillic alphabets we should use LatArCyrHeb-14, LatArCyrHeb-16+ or LatArCyrHeb-16 console font, that support unicode. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
