Another problem with Greek characters, is that the framebuffer console doesn't display them correct. SuSE has set lat7a-14.psfu by default.
That is probably a mistake. See /usr/share/doc/packages/kbd/fonts/README.Greek README.Greek> Some distributions have Greek fonts with names like lat7*, README.Greek> but latin-7 is ISO 8859-13, a character set for the Baltic Rim. Sorry.
I tried the same changes for the locale variables but the problem still persists. Any thoughts ?
The following settings work for Greek on the console:
export LC_ALL=el_GR.ISO-8859-7
setfont iso07u-16 -m trivial
echo -en "\033(K"
To get this automatically, you can edit /etc/sysconfig/console,
a sample file using the values above is attached.
## Path: System/Console/Framebuffer
## Description: Framebuffer configuration
## Type: string
## Default: ""
#
# You may want to load a framebuffer display driver into your kernel
# in order to be able to change graphics modes etc. with fbset in
# console mode.
# Notes: Most people won't enter anything here, as
# * it won't work if you have vesafb already active
# * its advantageous to have fb support compiled into your kernel
# * Some XFree86 drivers (especially in XFree86-4.x) don't work
# too well, if you enable framebuffer text mode.
# Example: FB_MODULES="matroxfb_base vesa=0x182 fv=85 matroxfb_maven matroxfb_crtc2"
# Default: FB_MODULES=""
#
FB_MODULES=""
## Type: string
## Default: ""
#
# In case your kernel has framebuffer support (or you loaded the framebuffer
# support into your kernel as a module above), you may want to change the
# resolution or other parameters. This is done by secifying the parameters
# to fbset. Use a mode from /etc/fb-modes and additional parameters as
# -a, -depth <BPP>, -vyres <VYRES>, ... (See fbset manpage and/or fbset -h).
# Notes:
# * vesafb does not (currently) support changing the display mode
# * BEWARE! Don't set modes your monitor can't do. Watch out for the maximum
# horizontal frequency. Old monitors might even be damaged if you exceed
# their capabilities.
# Example: FBSET_PARAMS="-a -depth 16 768x576-90 -vyres 10240"
# Default: FBSET_PARAMS=""
#
FBSET_PARAMS=""
## Path: Hardware/Console
## Description: Text console settings (see also Hardware/Keyboard)
## Type: string
## Default: ""
# Console settings.
# Note: The KBD_TTY from keyboard also apply for the settings here.
#
# Load this console font on bootup:
# (/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/)
#
CONSOLE_FONT="iso07u-16"
## Type: string
## Default: ""
#
# Some fonts come without a unicode map.
# (.psfu fonts supposedly have it, others often not.)
# You can then specify the unicode mapping of your font
# explicitly. (/usr/share/kbd/unimaps/)
# Normally not needed.
#
CONSOLE_UNICODEMAP=""
## Type: string
## Default: ""
#
# Most programs output 8 bit characters, so you need a table to
# translate those characters into unicode. That one can be specified
# here. (/usr/share/kbd/consoletrans/)
# (Note: If your console is in utf-8 mode you don't need this.)
# If your code does not use a unicode mapping at all (because you
# e.g. explicitly specified UNICODEMAP="none") you may circumvent
# the translation via unicode, but load a map which directly maps
# 8 bit output of your program to a font position.
#
CONSOLE_SCREENMAP="trivial"
## Type: string
## Default: ""
#
# for some fonts the console has to be initialized with CONSOLE_MAGIC.
# CONSOLE_MAGIC can be empty or have the values "(B", ")B", "(K" or ")K".
# Normally not needed (automatically handled by setfont).
#
CONSOLE_MAGIC="(K"
# Encoding used for output of non-ascii characters.
#
CONSOLE_ENCODING="ISO-8859-7"
