Koi8-r font problems
Excuse me for not writing Russian, but my Russian is as yet not good
enough to describe my problem, but I think this is the best list to get
an answer though.
I'm learning Russian and I've installed the Mueller dictionary in dict
format. This file is koi8-r encoded so I made xfstt generate koi8-r
fontmappings for my true type fonts.
Still, if I select a font and set the character to koi8-r, kdict won't
display the russian characters. It even seems dat Kdict converts them
to NULL-characters.
In general KDE application do not seem to understand koi8-r with the
exception of Konqueror. Other applications do seem to work, I can start
a xterm with:
xterm -fn '-ttf-courier new-medium-r-normal-regular-0-0-0-0-m-0-koi8-r'
and the koi8-r encoded text appears as Russian; for example the output
generated by dict.
So I suspect this is some KDE related problem, but I can't find the
cause. Any help would be appreciated, but I am unable to read Russian
good enough to make sense of Russian HOWTO's, so could answers be in
English?
