Package: console-data Version: 2:1.07-11 Severity: normal Tags: l10n
With the default console setup (I have not changed anything since installing) and the default LANG=en_US.UTF-8 locale setting, running gcc on the console (on a file with suitable errors) produces square block glyphs where there are supposed to be quotes. It is known that gcc goes to a fair amount of more or less pointless effort to try to print Unicode quote characters; it appears that it is doing so and generating Unicode characters which the console has no glyph for. (The characters in question have the UTF-8 representation 0xe2 0x80 0x98 and 0xe2 0x80 0x99, and when logging in remotely they do in fact display as quote characters. Also, unsetting LANG or setting LANG=C causes gcc to emit ASCII quote characters, so it's not a gcc problem.) ISTM that either the default console font should have glyphs for these characters or gcc should be taught not to send them when they aren't available. gcc is gcc 4:4.3.2-2; libc is libc6 2.7-18lenny2; the kernel is "2.6.26-2-amd64". -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU
