Problem with croatian chars

[Davor Bira?]

Hello,

I would like to enable croatian chars to terminal. I'm not sure where to start.
So any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Davor

In a very real sense, from the perspective of the OS, your question has no meaning. Character sets are the sole responsibility of the display device (terminal, terminal emulator, printer, etc.). For example, the host simply sends 65, 66, 67 (decimal) to the terminal and it is the terminal's task to convert these numerical values into characters (in English A, B, C). How these character sets are changed is very terminal dependent.

If you are running X then a font server can be used to load a fontset -- if the display device request it.

I think Croation uses iso88592. Execute locale -a to list the possible LANG settings.

Man 5 environ and man locale for details.
