can't get my local language right

[Guest indio]

Hi all,

 

I have installed Mandrake 10.1 powerpack, it is generally great. I'm having problems though with my native language support...

 

I can write Greek in ALL GTk (If I not mistaken) apps, like Xchat and mozilla, with all accentuation wright. In all other apps I dont have correct accentuation, and in console greek is printed as ??? chars. All configs are the way the are supposed to be, but no luck.

 

Some snippets:

 

xorg.conf

Section "InputDevice"
   Identifier "Keyboard1"
   Driver "keyboard"
   Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
   Option "XkbLayout" "us,el(extended)"
   Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection

/etc/sysconfig/i18n

SYSFONTACM=iso15
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_ADDRESS=el_GR
LC_COLLATE=en_US
LC_NAME=el_GR
LC_NUMERIC=el_GR
LC_MEASUREMENT=el_GR
LC_TIME=en_US
LANG=en_US
LC_IDENTIFICATION=el_GR
LC_MESSAGES=en_US
LC_CTYPE=en_US
LC_TELEPHONE=el_GR
LC_MONETARY=el_GR
LC_PAPER=el_GR
SYSFONT=lat0-16

 

What should I look next? Page rendering in mozilla-firefox also sucks. Letter are rendered as if they are bold or something for sites like google, and greek fonts in thunderbird suck too.

Under Mandrake I have to use el_GR.UTF8 for proper accentuation.

Unfortunately unicode as system default makes some programs like Scribus behaving funnily.

As for font rendering- do you use an xorg driver, or a vendor one? (Nvidia, or ATI, or whatever...).

Where should I put el_GR.UTF8 ? And I use an nvidia display driver, is that what you mean? What does it have to do with font rendering?

 

Thanks
