Application not showing correctly

[t18]

Hello,

my application doesn't show line borders like the attached wp_ok.png


but like the attached wp_tc.png


Anything I can do?

Many thanks

[Juanito]

It looks like you need one or more of:

A terminal emulator that supports unicode like rxvt
A font extension that supports unicode
An appropriate locale to be set

Hi t18
I've seen mc (midnight commander) behave like that
on the repo server. I fixed it like this:

Code: [Select]

LC_ALL=C mc
Assuming Wordperfect is called wp, try starting it like this:

Code: [Select]

LC_ALL=C wp
If that works, add this to .ashrc:

Code: [Select]

alias wp='LC_ALL=C wp'

[t18]

Hi All,

installing unifont, xfonts-unifont and the utility program has no effect.

And LC_ALL=C doesn't work.

I'm running Xvesa however.

And Midnight Commander works fine without any special settings.

Hi t18
It works fine on my machines too. This was something I
ran into on another machine running Debian.

I think the issue is your character set. You need one that
supports line drawing characters. Something like cp1250
or cp1252 I think.

Hi Rich,

I've never changed the character set, I've kept the default one.

[t18]

I'm sorry but it's not clear to me how install or enable a specific character set.

Utf8 would be the right candidate but exporting LC_ALL, LANG and LANGUAGE has no effect.

Other distros have commands like locale-gen or update-locale that are missing in TC.

Please provide me with a bit information more, thanks.

Hi t18

... Other distros have commands like locale-gen or update-locale that are missing in TC. ...

Maybe  getlocale.tcz  is what you are looking for?

[t18]

Hi Rich,

yes it's what helped me to select a character set. But I'm still in the dark.

[Juanito]

Assuming getlocale.sh ran properly and you have mylocale set "onboot", what does the command "locale" give after rebooting?

This gives me my correct locale and timezone and keymaps for console for Sweden, this is my bootoptions.

Code: [Select]

showapps tz=CET-1CEST,M3.5.0,M10.5.0/3 kmap=qwerty/sv-latin1 lang=sv_SE
https://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/doku.php?id=wiki:boot_codes_explained

And this is how i get Swedish characters in X11.

Code: [Select]

sudo su
mkdir -p /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/
echo -e "Section \"InputClass\"" > /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tIdentifier \"keyboard defaults\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tMatchIsKeyboard \"on\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tOption \"XkbModel\" \"pc105\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tOption \"XkbLayout\" \"se\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tOption \"XkbVariant\" \"nodeadkeys\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "\tOption \"XkbOptions\" \"terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp\"" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "EndSection" >> /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf
echo -e "etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/se_keyboard.conf" >> /opt/.filetool.lst
filetool.sh -b -v

Yes, getlocale.sh run properly, mylocale.tcz is onboot and I've set LANG in the /etc/sysconfig/language.

Pease see the attached image.


And it seem that printf is not working:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:$ printf "\u0054\n"
\u0054

[Rich]

Hi t18

... And it seem that printf is not working: ...

It's possible the shell printf can not handle unicode.

Try  /usr/bin/printf

Or install  coreutils  and try  /usr/local/bin/printf

[t18]

No way, please se attached image.
