[Fvwm] Getting accents in menus [solved]

Shaika-Dzari · 2007-08-04 15:32:50

I tried to get accent working with Fvwm but I always get @%....

I tried different solution:

Modified /etc/profile with:

export LESSCHARSET="latin1"
export INPUTRC="/etc/inputrc"
export LESS="-R"

export LC_COLLATE="C"
export LANG="fr_CA.utf8"
export LANGUAGE="fr_CA:en:C"
export LC_ALL="fr_CA.utf8"

I did not work.

I tried the same in my ~/.zshrc and it did not work.

My locale.gen:

fr_CA.UTF-8    UTF-8
fr_CA    ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8    UTF-8
en_US    ISO-8859-1

The proper section in rc.conf:

LOCALE="fr_CA.UTF-8"
HARDWARECLOCK="localtime"
TIMEZONE="Canada/Pacific"
KEYMAP="cf.map.gz"
CONSOLEFONT=lat9w-16
CONSOLEMAP=
USECOLOR="yes"

The font I used for my menu have éàâû....

Thank you for your help

Mmm try setting the locale info in your fvwm config, something like:

MenuStyle * Font "xft:Comic Sans MS:size=10:bold:encoding=iso10646-1"

A more elaborate discussion, though still very bare, can be found here.
If you can't solve your problem try to ask there.
