I added the following to ~/.login_conf:
me:\
:charset=KOI8-R:\
:lang=ru_RU.KOI8-R:
SLRN and mutt started to send guarbage messages in some cases.
I decided that it is font related and tried to execute the following
command from ssh terminal:
vidcontrol -f cp866b
I've the the following message:
vidcontrol: must be on a virtual console: Inappropriate ioctl for device
So, is there any way to change font loaded when using ssh terminal?
Also, how do I know which encoding to use (KOI8, DOS, Windows)? What
if some messages use KOI8 and some are Windows?
