This is what I found about multi-lingual support in
sysinstall.
1) Standard VGA fonts in syscons are 8x16 and not 8x14 as
used in sysinstall now;
2) Font files in .../share/syscons/fonts are uuencoded, so
they must be 'uudecode'-d before 'file2c'-ed ;
3) Default (English) case contains (small :) bug -
there must be font_cp850_8x16 instead of "font_cp850_8x14"
(i.e. you must 'dequote' it ;-) ;
4) In Russian case there is no need in 'screenmap' if you
use koi8-r-8x16 font (and it seems right for me);
5) For screens look fine you must not only change
TERM and TERMCAP in environment but also (re)setterm
and especially 'init_acs'.
This present another problem - setterm breaks shell_mode
(sets noecho), so I find some ugly hack to prevent this.
Sombody with better understanding of dialog, ncurses and
mytinfo can find better solution.
Here is my diffs. I work with yesterday's sources, so
this diff can't be used as a patch, but you can see what and how
I've done.
