Question about spleen - the default console font
Running OpenBSD 6.6 on an old ThinkPad X220.
If I do Control+Alt+F2 and start using Newsboat to read RSS feeds, certain chacacters (specifically apostrophes and quotation marks) show as the letter a under ^. If spleen is the default font shouldn't these characters show correctly or is this a problem with newsboat ad has nothing to do with spleen? Thanks |

I'm running -release. I think -current is beyond my capabilities at the moment.
I've got LC_CTYPE=en_US-UTF-8 in ~/.kshrc. BiOS gives me a choice of UEFI or legacy; I have it set to UEFI Doing dmesg | grep efifb: efifb at mainbus0 not configured. Could my problem be related to inteldrm and if so is there any work-around? Thanks |

LC_CTYPE error was just a typo. It is correct in ~/.kshrc.
I will upgrade when 6.7 comes out and see if anything changes. Thanks to both of you for taking the time to reply. I do appreciate it. |

Here's how to experiment with a disabled inteldrm(4) driver:

I have the opposite scenario.
I do not have LC_CTYPE set to en_US.UTF-8 on the console and it displays correctly. If I do set LC_CTYPE, that's when it shows the same incorrect characters as the OP. I don't set that varible until I start X. |

What is the value of the $TERM environment variable?
I had the same problem. Setting $TERM to wsvt25 solved the problem for me: Code:
$ TERM=wsvt25; export TERM

Setting TERM to wsvt25 gives me color in the console. It does nothing for my original problem unfortunately.

This worked for me with tmux. tmux was displaying '?' instead of vertical lines. It also gives me color.
In my .xsession I have this: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 export LANG LC_CTYPE LC_ALL My TERM variable was set so I commented it out. I think this change fixed the man pages where they would get messed up if I pressed page up/page down. And I followed this advice from eduol to fix the question mark issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/com..._console_font/ "Edit /etc/ttys replacing vt220 by pccon0 and reboot to solve the question marks problem." His sed command didn't work (perhaps it is a GNU sed command). So use your favorite editor, and back up the old file in case. I have a question if you don't mind. Is it possible to go back to X Windows after switching to the console with Control+Alt+F2, or do you have to reboot? Perhaps I should just type cwm. Last edited by Prevet; 2nd May 2020 at 06:56 AM. |

Simply press Control+Alt+F5 to get back to X.
