Hi!

I'm trying to set up polish special characters (such as: ąśół - probably You won't see them :wink: ) on console. After typing "locale" I can see that all variables are set to "POSIX" instead of "pl_PL"...
How (and where) can I change it to polish language?
Do I need any additional fonts to write in polish?

Any advice would be helpful. :)

Use this:

export LANG=pl_PL

Thanks! :)

But that only changed the system's language. In order to have those special characters I had to set CONSOLEFONT="lat2-12" in /etc/rc.conf, because default8x16 didn't work.
Lat2 isn't very beautiful font, but better this than nothing. :wink:

Do You know any sites, where I can get additional fonts?

If I want to set another language, what to export?
I mean, where I can see a list of parameters?
Thanks
