Hi, After setting up a new system (FreeBSD10) I'm trying to get "Umlauts" to display correctly both on the console and under X11, including X11-clients. Over various FreeBSD releases I worked with the following configuration: /etc/ttys: console none cons25l1 off secure ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25l1 on secure ... In order to get the correct locale settings for users they have a setting like this in their ~/.bash_profile: export LC_CTYPE=de_AT.ISO8859-15 Just for completeness, here's what I got in /etc/rc.conf: keymap="german.iso.acc.kbd" Status: 1) Umlauts *don't* work on the console 2) Umlauts work under X11 and clients (emacs, firefox,...) 3) When accessing the box via ssh from "putty" with "UTF-8" set in putty: small caps umlauts work caps umlauts don't work I've also experimented with setting "LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8" but that only made matters worse So here are my questions: o) Has anything changed wrt umlaut characters from FreeBSD9 to FreeBSD10? o) Shouldn't setting "UTF-8" work with umlauts in all cases? o) Any ideas on how to get umlaut characters to work in every case, i.e. -) console -) X11 -) putty session (ssh) Thanks much in advance for your help, -ewald
