Does QNX4 support Polish characters for keyboard mapping and display?
|
| Solution |
For text mode, a character encoding has to be picked that has all the Polish characters in it. A font must be found that uses this encoding. After a font has been found, a keyboard mapping must be built using 'kedit'. Once the keyboard mapping has been built, they must be loaded into the console driver using 'cfont' and 'kbd'. This will not work for ANSI emulation however.
For Photon, the Polish keyboard mapping file that ships with Photon (pl_PL_102.kbd) must be used, and a font that contains the "Latin Extended A" range (U0100...U017F) -- see the "Font Support" chapter in the Installation & Configuration book.
For pterm, see the Photon part above -- plus Photon 1.14 is required, along with a fixed-width font with "Latin Extended A", and a "character-sets file" created by the new "ptermcs" utility. |
