In our implementation, it's ultimately a call to __maskrune, so it will always check against the user's current locale. -- I've always wanted to be a dilettante, but I've never quite been ready to make the commitment.

Can someone confirm the correct way to > do this? isprint() does honor locales, if setlocale() is called in advance. So this fix is proper, but not enough - there must be a call to setlocale(LC_ALL, ""), and a good place for it would be the start of main, even before the getopt() call, as done by a lot of other base system tools.

I did as you have requested, but I'm just curious what the reason for such changes is. Correct me if I'm wrong, but AFAIK ability to change screenmap was introduced to support video hardware with some (Russian CP866 in this case) charset in chargen but w/o ability to load another symbol table (CGA, Hercules and so on). Nowadays such hardware is extremely rare to say the least, so it would be more logical to get rid of CP866 font in the sysinstall. Necessity to select both font and screenmap seriously increases possibility of error for novice users. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-i18n Fri May 11 0:50:26 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-i18n@freebsd.org Received: from nagual.pp.ru (pobrecita.freebsd.ru [194.87.13.42]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0749637B43F; Fri, 11 May 2001 00:50:19 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ache@nagual.pp.ru) Received: (from ache@localhost) by nagual.pp.ru (8.11.3/8.11.3) id f4B7oGq44022; Fri, 11 May 2001 11:50:16 +0400 (MSD) (envelope-from ache) Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 11:50:11 +0400 From: "Andrey A.

Nowadays No, the reason is completely different - broken pseudographics due to 8bit->9bit VGA extension. In VGA adapter pseudographics must be only in place it currently is in CP437 (866*). In all other places it will be broken (missing 9th pixel), and there is no possibility to change this range via VGA registers. -- Andrey A.

E.g. we went and translated a bunch of the *.TXT files into various languages (among them Russian) and then gave sysinstall the ability to change the screen map, terminal type and keyboard mapping according to a global language setting. That survived for exactly one release after we realized that we didn't have the infrastructure necessary to translate those documents on an ongoing basis. It was sort of an experiment anyway, so nobody really cried when we took it back out. But I'm not against it's resurrection. That was then, these days we have quite a bit more infrastructure and a better translation process. Also, thanks to Mr. Mah, the *.TXT files have finally been integrated into our overall docs and are thus far easier to generate international versions of. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-i18n Fri May 11 8: 3:13 2001 Delivered-To: freebsd-i18n@freebsd.org Received: from nagual.pp.ru (pobrecita.freebsd.ru [194.87.13.42]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 5D44037B423; Fri, 11 May 2001 08:03:08 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from ache@nagual.pp.ru) Received: (from ache@localhost) by nagual.pp.ru (8.11.3/8.11.3) id f4BF2km49149; Fri, 11 May 2001 19:02:47 +0400 (MSD) (envelope-from ache) Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 19:02:43 +0400 From: "Andrey A.

Umm, I mean not this complex thing at all, I mean just tuning /etc/ttys file the same way as sysinstall currently tunes /etc/rc.conf file, i.e. just change variables there without loading font/screenmap/etc inside sysinstall itself. -- Andrey A.
