http://unix.stackexchange.com – I have insalled Arch Linux. During the installation, I set my vconsole.conf file to be like this: KEYMAP=slovene FONT=Lat2-Terminus16 But when I try to type my Slovenian letters after reboot, instead of the letter č I get A'' and I also get some wierd symbols for letters like ž, đ, š as well as capital versions of the same. Q1: Why isn't my vconsole.conf applied? Q2: Is it possible that letters just cant be rendered? (HowTos)

Starting Setup Virtual Console 23 weeks 4 days ago

I don't think this has anything to do with virtual console setup.  Virtual console setup is when it is starting systemd-vconsole-setup.service, and that simple applies the settings is /etc/vconsole.conf.  Do you have anything in vconsole.conf?  If you speak English and you are okay with the default font and keymap, you can actually remove /etc/vconsole.conf altogether.  I

Tried FONT="Lat2-Terminus16" with quotes. No improvement.

Hi guys, I'm from Brazil, then sry my English!!I've installed Arch by the latest media (2012-11-01)everything ok except the windows and their contents start getting deconfigured, looking like special characters!I've done a lot of research about it and follow all wikis about keyboard settings, keymap, vconsole.conf files, and locale.gen and locale.conf ....

Im using tesseract-ocr package on Ubuntu Linux, I have been using it for a while and I think that in order to improve the accuracy of the OCR I only need a subset of letters from the alphabet.

You do have the settings above in /etc/vconsole.conf? If so, add "consolefont" to HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf (put it at the very beginning of the array) and rebuild your vmlinuz.
