[SOLVED] Ncmpcpp doesn't display Korean

JcdeA · 2021-04-21 02:53:55

I can't figure out how to get ncmpcpp to display Korean(and CJK in general) correctly. I am using Kitty as my terminal. mpc does display korean and Japanese just fine.

mpc:

ncmpcpp:
https://s3.jcde.xyz/public/2021.04.21-1 … d760f8e5c8

https://s3.jcde.xyz/public/2021.04.21-1 … 82696fcaf8

I've tried setting the LANG variable, but that made no difference.

Do you start ncmpcpp from an interactive shell or like "kitty -e ncmpcpp" and does it make a difference?

Output of

localectl
locale -a
locale

❯ localectl
   System Locale: LANG=C
       VC Keymap: n/a

❯ locale -a

I did start ncmpcpp from an interactive shell.

kitty -e ncmpcpp doesn't make any difference.

You're using a C locale, I'm not even sure how mpc works (except if it internally just changes the locale)
=> fix your locale setup, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Locale (en_US.utf8 is going to be fine - it hast to be utf-8, no necessarily korean)

JcdeA · 2021-04-21 07:08:23

I've already tried setting the LANG variable to utf8(ko_KR.utf8 specifically) already, no difference.

You do not have that locale available.
Would you please read the link I posted and that's actually part of the installation routine?

JcdeA · 2021-04-21 07:14:14

Ahh, seems like I was missunderstanding the locale system all along. Setting en_US.utf8 solved the issue.

JcdeA · 2021-04-21 07:15:17

Also, am I right that I should put

export LANG='en_US.utf8'

In /etc/environment?
Just checking in case I'm wrong.

1. Actually read the link seth provided: it explains exactly what you should do.

2. Edit your first post - read the Code of Conduct and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cod … s_and_code
