For more information about KOI8-R encoding, see the KOI8-R References (Russian Net Character Set).
Put the following lines into your
~/.login_conf
file:
me:My Account:\ :charset=KOI8-R:\ :lang=ru_RU.KOI8-R:
See earlier in this chapter for examples of setting up the locale.
Add the following line
to your /etc/rc.conf
file:
mousechar_start=3
Also, use following settings in
/etc/rc.conf
:
keymap="ru.koi8-r" scrnmap="koi8-r2cp866" font8x16="cp866b-8x16" font8x14="cp866-8x14" font8x8="cp866-8x8"
For each ttyv*
entry in
/etc/ttys
, use
cons25r
as the terminal type.
See earlier in this chapter for examples of setting up the console.
Since most printers with Russian characters come with
hardware code page CP866, a special output filter is needed
to convert from KOI8-R to CP866. Such a filter is installed by
default as /usr/libexec/lpr/ru/koi2alt
.
A Russian printer /etc/printcap
entry
should look like:
lp|Russian local line printer:\ :sh:of=/usr/libexec/lpr/ru/koi2alt:\ :lp=/dev/lpt0:sd=/var/spool/output/lpd:lf=/var/log/lpd-errs:
See printcap(5) for a detailed description.
The following example fstab(5) entry enables support for Russian filenames in mounted MS-DOS® filesystems:
/dev/ad0s2 /dos/c msdos rw,-Wkoi2dos,-Lru_RU.KOI8-R 0 0
The option -L
selects the locale name
used, and -W
sets the character conversion
table. To use the -W
option, be sure to
mount /usr
before the MS-DOS® partition
because the conversion tables are located in
/usr/libdata/msdosfs
. For more
information, see the mount_msdos(8) manual
page.
Do non-X locale setup first as described.
If you use Xorg, install x11-fonts/xorg-fonts-cyrillic package.
Check the "Files"
section
in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
file.
The following
lines must be added before any other
FontPath
entries:
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/misc" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/75dpi" FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic/100dpi"
If you use a high resolution video mode, swap the 75 dpi and 100 dpi lines.
To activate a Russian keyboard, add the following to the
"Keyboard"
section of your
xorg.conf
file.
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:toggle"
Also make sure that XkbDisable
is
turned off (commented out) there.
For grp:caps_toggle
the RUS/LAT switch will be CapsLock.
The old CapsLock function is still
available via Shift+CapsLock (in LAT mode
only). For grp:toggle
the RUS/LAT switch will be Right Alt.
grp:caps_toggle
does not work in
Xorg for unknown reason.
If you have „Windows®” keys on your keyboard,
and notice that some non-alphabetical keys are mapped
incorrectly in RUS mode, add the following line in your
xorg.conf
file.
Option "XkbVariant" ",winkeys"
The Russian XKB keyboard may not work with non-localized applications.
Minimally localized applications
should call a XtSetLanguageProc (NULL, NULL,
NULL);
function early in the program.
See KOI8-R for X Window for more instructions on localizing X11 applications.
