Message-ID: <C4nppo.Jrt@veda.is> Date: 29 Mar 93 15:29:48 GMT Organization: Veda Systems, Iceland Lines: 16 This node has been up for about a month now, and way past time it should be able to cope with 8-bit character sets. We are using ISO 8859/1 for most things (page 0 of ISO 10646) but this here 386bsd that I'm running here needs a few more things configured before it will accept 8-bit chars without complaining or lobotomising the text. Are there any 8-bit gurus reading this that can show me what changes are necessary or which options need to be configured? A great help would be loadable console fonts and keyboard tables. Please don't point me to X, I don't have time at the moment to get into X and I don't believe X or this computer is stable enough yet (taken in combination). I noticed after applying the 0.2.1 patchkit that 'stty -istrip' works now (holds its value) but I'm still a fair way from running an 8-bit system. -- Adam David (adam@veda.is)
