Printing Russian Character

[Eida Hanafiah]

Hi,
Does anyone have a clue on how to print russian character.

FYI, I'm able to show russian character when I set the locale to ru_RU.utf8, though I can't manage to print it out.

Here is my locale setting:
LANG=ru_RU.utf8
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.utf8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.utf8"
LC_ALL=


Regards,
Eida

How are you printing it? Sending it to the display? To a printer?
You have correctly set the locale. What is the character and what is the hex bit pattern?

I'm sending it to a printer.
I'm trying to print "Hello world" (Ð¿Ñ Ð¸Ð²ÐµÑ Ð¼Ð¸Ñ ) in russian character.

Sorry, try to paste the russian character, though it is showing garbabe.

Does it work when you send it to your display?

What type of printer? Local, remote or network?

>I'm trying to print "Hello world" (à ¿à  à ¸à ²à µà  à ¼à ¸à  ) in Russian character. though it is showing garbage.

That's why I need the hex codes.

Hi Dennis,

It works when I try to send it to display. I'm using putty to access the server and have set the translation behaviour to UTF-8.

The printer that I'm using is a network printer.

Please let me know how can I get the hex code.

Does the printer have Russian fonts?

Redirect the output to a file. Then use:
xd -tx1 -tc file

Hi Dennis,

I think the printer has a russian font. I try to print from Microsoft Wordpad and have the character printed correctly.

Attahced is the hex representation

Unfortunately I can neither display nor print them. :-(

I wonder why, when I try on Linux it can. I guess it uses a ghostscript or CUPS to print. Though when printing thru a terminal it does give out garbage.

I wonder why, I can't print from terminal

Here are some threads about printing Cyrillic fonts but probably not from HP-UX:

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the link. But I'm still looking a way to print this out.
