I think that this was some kind of a problem with ncurses and utf8. I have the same problem in mc, make menuconfig or dialog. But it's out off my grasp to see where the problem is exactly, so I live with it. :) > Capital letter is normal AFAIK, but small letter looks strange (it > should look like capital letter but smaller AFAIK, but I am not > Macedonian...). Yes Eugeniy is right the two letters should look the same (only different sizes). http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/040c/index.htm http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/045c/index.htm But it's not really a big deal. I don't really understand the core with consolefonts and the way that the console draws the letters, but trying different fonts here(slackware) both with utf8 and iso-8859-5 (cyr-sun16, LatArCyrHeb-16, iso05.16) all gave me the same "faulty" result. Trying to solve this would be nit-picking, althouhg, I'll try to contact someone here more involed into this stuff and see why wasn't this "problem" fixed by now. :) It's defenetly not a d-i problem. >>So, I won't probably change anything for Macedonian unless I'm >>recommended to use the above "cyr=" line. > > It may work but NB.: line with cyr also sets keyboar layout, so user > will not be able to change it (for second stage) with d-i. I don't see a reason to change it either, everything seems OK. -- Glisha The perfect OS, MS-DOS!
