Interesting, I have:
LANG=en_NZ.UTF-8
and in /etc/console-tools/config
SCREEN_FONT=lat0-sun16
With that setup, Dotan Cohen's line looks like solid black squares
separated by dashes.
An
apt-get install fonty-rg
and changing /etc/console-tools/config to:
SCREEN_FONT=chavo
Dotan Cohen's line looks like solid black squares with a weird looking
question mark in each one.
I wonder if the setting of APP_CHARSET_MAP should be changed?
I tried changing it from APP_CHARSET_MAP=iso15 to APP_CHARSET_MAP=utf8
but no change in display (Got errors on bootup about findacm no such
file or directory)
Anyone any ideas?
