running hp-ux 10.20.

ive asked this question before.. and got the ansver to change in /etc/rc.config.d/LANG.
ive changed lang to sv_SE.iso88591.
and it works when running telnet, characters are on the right place (even doe i miss the the special characters ??? (swedish characters)) and it works all the way when running exceed, but on the console its still C layout on the keyboard (cde do have swedish menus?)

From CDE login screen =>

Options => Language => select sv_SE.iso88591

Then try a CDE login ?

[jim bidebo]

didnt work. still got the C keyboard and the rest is swedish...

[jim bidebo]

is it required to use a hp keyboard to get the swedish mapping on the kbd? well its a long shot but... atm there's a normal pc kbd...

Hello Jim,

HP is actually using the "ROMAN-8" encoding on
the keyboards, so it might NOT be what you
want/need... (i.e. it is NOT ISO8859-x)

Then, the POSIX shell does NOT even permit
8bit characters :-( so you have to use the
Korn shell (ksh).

AND you have to turn off the "input stripping"
of the 8th bit using "stty -istrip cs8".

Just my ?0.02,
Wodisch

how about forcing CDE to serve iso fonts before hproman8 ones ?

could try in hpterm using the hproman8=falseresource ..... see man hpterm for full details/syntax and add the resource in $HOME/.Xdefaults or maybe easier ......

run xset -q ....look at the font path and use xset -fp to remove the roman8 fonts forcing CDE to use iso fonts ...... worth ago .....fyi I don't think you need a swedish keyboard.
