> > BTW, VGA hardware allows to use up to 512 characters in text-mode, not 256. Vadim, I know about this. However, converting UTF-8 to 8-bit for rendering is an easy first step. This fits well into existing system: fonts, screenmaps, etc. Of course, rendering 512 characters may help many people. This is linked to modifying the renderer and therefore is not scheduled for now. The highest current priority is to make technically possible switching whole system, including syscons, $LANG, X Window, applications, etc to UTF-8 input and output. Renderer improvement can be done separately. Alexander ChuranovReceived on Tue Nov 11 2008 - 13:41:12 UTC
