Details

my rc.conf have the following...

LOCALE=ES_es
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE=America/Santiago
KEYMAP=es
CONSOLEFONT=lat9w-16
CONSOLEMAP=lat9w
USECOLOR="yes"

...for a spanish system. As today 25/12/05 the lat9w consolemap can't be loaded with this configuration, get a "cannot open map file _lat9w_" some times in the boot screen but trying to load it from the console like this:

mapscrn /usr/share/kbd/unimaps/lat9w.uni

it will work. It should load at boot time. I'haven't testing others through.

Hmmm, rc.sysinit does it a bit differently. Does it work if you run this?

# setfont -m lat9w lat9w-16

or this?

# setfont -m /usr/share/kbd/unimaps/lat9w.uni /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/lat9w-16.psfu.gz


According to the mapscrn manpage, its functionality has been moved to setfont.

ok:

# setfont -m lat9w lat9w-16
produces a:

mapscrn: cannot open map file _lat9w_

and

# setfont -m /usr/share/kbd/unimaps/lat9w.uni /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/lat9w-16.psfu.gz

produces a:

putfont: PIO_FONT: Invalid argument

in short... setfont it will not work with lat9w here... (also cp850.uni will not work)

Hmmm. This exact command worked for me (0.7.1-pre1).

# setfont -m /usr/share/kbd/unimaps/lat9w.uni lat9w-16

Does it for you? If not, does "setfont -m /usr/share/kbd/unimaps/lat9w.uni" work?
Comment by Jorge Ortega (stargeizer) - Tuesday, 03 January 2006, 02:31 GMT
the first:

# setfont -m /usr/share/kbd/unimaps/lat9w.uni lat9w-16

doesn't work: putfont: PIO_FONT: Invalid argument

the last one:

# setfont -m /usr/share/kbd/unimaps/lat9w.uni

works as expected.

The other maps cp850.uni won't work at all, but it seems is a problem with the software itself, not with archlinux at all. (produces an error parsing argument) so i think i will post it where it belongs.

regards

J.

Jorge, status of this?
Comment by Jorge Ortega (stargeizer) - Thursday, 04 January 2007, 01:25 GMT
Using rc.conf to setup the locales is working again, probably they solved the bug in setfont. I'm not in my machine in home for now but it work since some time ago. I forgot to put this here sorry about that.

Best Regards
