6.5.1 X11 Font Problem
In the Lucida-Typewriter-medium-R-normal fonts, the glyphs for
multiplication and division are reversed. The multiplication symbol is where
the division symbol should be, and vice versa. If the representation of these
glyphs is important to your application, use a different font.
6.6 Internationalization
The following notes apply to restrictions on use of internationalization
features in the windowing environments.
6.6.1 Japanese Keyboard Support in Console Mode
When running in single-user or console mode, Tru64 UNIX now supports
two new Japanese keyboard types (JIS and ANSI) on AlphaStation and
AlphaServer systems. (Japanese keyboard support is not available on
TURBOchannel-based machines.)
To use JIS-type Japanese keyboards, like the PCXAJ-AA and LK411-JJ, you
must set the language console environment variable to 50, as in the
following example:
>>> set language 50
To use ANSI-type Japanese keyboards, like the LK411-AJ, you must set the
language console environment variable to 52, as in the following example:
>>> set language 52
6.6.2 System-Default Keyboard Setting May Prevent User Login
When any user logs on to a system, the system-default keyboard setting must
be appropriate for the keys that the user presses when entering characters in
the username and password fields. Otherwise, characters that are correct from
the user perspective, given the keyboard being used, might be treated as
invalid. In this case, the user cannot log on the the system. This situation
most often arises when a keyboard is being used in one language and the
system-default keyboard setting is another language. You can change the
system-default keyboard setting at the console prompt or, if the required
language is not available at the console level, by editing the
Xserver.conf file to change the keymap used by the X Server. See
keyboard(5) for more detailed information about changing keyboard
settings.
