Invalid locale

[Michael_l]

This is also odd...

If i run the command xterm which opens the xterm terminal. If I then run the command LANG="sv_SE.UTF-8"

then it works to write the "~" sign and even the swedish letters.

It needs the locale to be set correctly but also the font must support the swedish letters. On the console I use the terminus font. I have configured that in /etc/rc.conf by

# VT font
allscreens_flags="-f terminus-u28b"

With that font I can read swedish letters, even without X11.

Ok. I've looked in

zoor@FreeBSD-dell:/usr/share/vt/fonts $ ls
INDEX.fonts spleen-6x12.fnt vgarom-8x16.fnt
gallant.fnt spleen-8x16.fnt vgarom-8x8.fnt

I cannot see any terminus-u28b font available?

I cannot see it when I search either.

You can get terminus from x11-fonts/terminus-font.
x11-fonts/spleen is another font option here.

Installed spleen. The terminus font was already the mosts recent version on my computer apparently?

Is terminus-b32 similair as the suggested terminus version in the previous message?
