 Posted: Tue Aug 13, 2002 3:35 pm Post subject: Foreign characters in Nautilus |
 |
|
Hi all,
I'm running Gnome 2 in english. However, I'd like Nautilus (2) to show foreign characters (danish) in file names. How to? An xterm shows everything correct, I guess I must have entered the correct secret code in the correct secret and hidden file...
Also: The tree pane in Nautilus seems to be devoid of functionality. I can only use it to navigate, not to drag'n'drop or delete or rename. Several programs in Gnome 2 seems to have lost functions compared to Gnome 1.4. The benefits are not equally evident, sadly.
regards,
H |

My first guess would be in /etc/X11/XF86Config. There is a section that looks like this: | Code: | # Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# These are the default XKB settings for XFree86
# Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
# Option "XkbModel" "pc101"
# Option "XkbLayout" "us"
# Option "XkbVariant" ""
# Option "XkbOptions" "" |

Hi,
the settings in XF86Config seems to be related to the keyboard. This is not my problem, all keys work fine. An xterm shows the characters fine, whether typed or in file names. Nautilus does not.
Thanks,

FYI:
Adding stuff like "codepage=865" and "iocharset=iso8859-15" in fstab made no difference. This got me thinking, and as usual that approach was better that shooting blind. The problem was: the font. I changed the application and desktop font to verdana, and everything was fine. As a plus, verdana anti-aliases better.
