Bug#138849: boot-floppies: syslinux screen on boot-floppies created boot-floppy has messed chars
Package: boot-floppies
Version: N/A; reported 2002-03-17
Severity: minor
Hi,
I installed in french and made a boot-floppy. When I boot off that
floppy the message from syslinux is nicely in french for me. However
every accented character is garbled, it looks very bad.
This is probably a bug in syslinux. If the bug isn't easy to fix in
syslinux though, perhaps we should put in non-accented equivalents so
the text is easier to read? As it is I can make it out, but it would
definately be clearer if the garbled characters were removed. Would
we want to do that for every language? I see that ko and ja are in
English, presumably because syslinux has no chance of making anything
like those characters.
