Drdos8x16 console font has incomplete Unicode mapping

I like drdos8x16.psfu.gz - it looks right and has all the symbols I want. My PS1 contains a club (♣) which turns into a heart (♥) when I'm root. This became a problem - these symbols don't display correctly, despite being in the font (showconsolefont shows them at 0x005 and 0x003 respectively).
I managed to find out that I can examine the internal mapping from symbol index to Unicode codepoint with psfgettable, and discovered that 0x001 through 0x013 and 0x016 through 0x01F aren't mapped to any Unicode codepoint other than the unprintables at the beginning of the Basic ASCII block, even though they all have Unicode codepoints.
I'm not sure how to go about fixing this - can I set FONT_MAP to something in vconsole.conf, or do I need to edit the font itself? How do I report this bug upstream?

Have you tried loading the graphics driver earlier in the boot process?

  • Crypto map has incomplete entries message

    I'm working on building a configuration on a 5540 running 9.1.2 for L2L VPN.  When I reload the device, I get this message:
    .WARNING: crypto map has incomplete entries
    *** Output from config line 10665, "crypto map L2LVPN interf..."
    I seems it's giving me the error on the line where the crypto map is assigned to the outside interface.  Unfortunately this message really is not very helpful.  I do not have this in production yet. Is there any way I can find out where my problem may be?
    Thanks.
    Jason

    Hi,
    This usually indicates that one L2L VPN connection Crypto Map configuration is missing some essential parameter to make it complete.
    So issue the command
    show run crypto map
    Then make sure that the following lines exists
    crypto map match address
    crypto map set peer
    crypto map set ikev1 transform-set
    If any of the 3 things mentioned above are missing then the crypto map configuration is deemed incomplete and doesnt have the information needed for that L2L VPN to function.
    Atleast this is what it seems to me.
    Hope it helps

  • PDF/A Conversion Err :CIDset in subset font is incomplete & Character references .notdef glyphs

    I was trying to convert some PDF documents to PDF/A-3b. Using Acrobat XI Pro on a Windows Vista PC, the conversion proceeded fine, but I noticed the size of the converted file increased from 1.91 Mb to  16.8 Mb (See spage usage audits below). I expected some increase in size due to the font embedding and such, but did not expect such a big jump. On Auditing the space usage, I noticed that the converted file had no embedded fonts, but the vast majority of space was being consumed by images. Turns out the "Convert to PDF/A-3b" profile in Preflight settings were set to convert all pages to images, if the regular conversion failed. I edited the profile to not do so, but fail on an error. This time when I passed the document through a "Convert to PDF/A-3b" pre-flight, it failed with the following errors.
    CIDset in subset font is incomplete (font contains glyphs that are not listed). It appears to be referring to the Arial and TimesNewRoman fonts.
    Character references .notdef glyph
    How do I fix these errors? For the CIDset error, I noticed some folks in the InDesign forums mentioning you can locate the missing glyphs and then replace the fonts with other fonts in which these glyphs are present. I am wondering if this is the issue here and something similar can be done in Acrobat. As for the .notdef glyphs, I couldn't find anything. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ron
    Note:
    If I edit the conversion preflight profile to allow replacing the pages with images on regular conversion errors, the conversion goes through fine, but as shown below, there is a huge jump in size, which I would like to avoid. I have about 2GB worth of documents, and the conversion ends up using over 8 GB of space.
    Regular PDF
    Archival Ready PDF (PDF/A-3b)

    What software are you using to do OCR?
    Is there a way you can adjust what font is being used by the OCR software or use a different software for OCR? This is not  a standard OpenType font or one the can be mapped to Unicode.
    I'm not sure exactly how OCR software places fonts in  PDFs. Does it show up in the PDF Properties under Fonts?   If so, what is the name of the Font.
    When you examine the Tagged text in the Tags Panel, if you open up a tag and look at the content does it make sense or is it nonsense (gobbledygook)?
    While OCR text is not visible to the end user directly, it can be selected using the text tool and it is recognized by Acrobat for tagging purposes.  The Assistive Technology, e.g., screen reader. will be reading from this text. So if it is not understandable you do not have an accessible file.
    You would probably obtain better results using the Acrobat OCR feature, preferably on a Windows machine.  It's been a while since I've exchanged files between Mac and Windows, and I wouldn't trust that the encodings would be the same without testing it.

  • Needed: Programmer font with great Unicode coverage

    Subject line says it all: I need a font that:
    1) is excellent for source code files (especially Java, obviously)
    2) has glyphs for most Unicode characters (specifically, the first 65,536 ones, that is the [Basic Multilingual Plane|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Multilingual_Plane#Basic_Multilingual_Plane])
    It would be most excellent if the font is truly free and available on all major platforms.
    Here are the minimal requirements for a good programming font:
    1) monospaced
    2) extremely readable, even at small font sizes
    3) all unique characters are readily distinguishable, especially in the Basic Latin subset usually used in source code. In particular:
         a) o, O, and 0 (with zero preferably having a slash thru it, or at least a dot inside it)
         b) l, 1, I, | (ells, ones, capital eyes and vertical bar; and | shouldn't look like ! with a signle white pixel but must be more distinguishable)
         c) clear punctuation characters, especially braces, parenthesis and brackets
    4) proper sizing and alignment. In particular:
         a) operator symbols: * should not be raised relative to +/-; the same is true of ~; all these should align with =
         b) % should be cap height
         c) ", &, and ' should be straight, not angled or curved
         d) & must not become gray when antialiased at small ppm
         e) - must not be too short; en-dashes aren't typically used in programming
         f) bracketing chars have to align reasonably with both lower case and capitals.
         g) glyphs should not draw outside their metric bounds
         h) underscore must be at the baseline instead of hanging beneath, which most fonts wrongly choose and make words jarringly ugly
    I did some web searching before doing this posting, and was frustrated by what I found.

    "There is no free monospaced font covering Unicode"
    Please prove him wrong by showing me a font that has what we all need!

    [This stackoverflow.com question|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4689/recommended-fonts-for-programming] has some pretty good points.
    Regarding the Unicode coverage: I doubt that you'll find a good bitmap font there, as it's simply too much.
    But then again, a reasonable font rendering framework will substitute the font for a similar one if some glyph can't be rendered in the chosen font (at least fontconfig/GTK+ on Linux does that).

  • Unable to set Terminus as console font

    I have been trying to use the Terminus font for my console font, but I'm not able to set it. This is what happens:

  • How can I limit the fonts in the Character Map (charmap) and reinitialize the state after use?

    In a WPF application I have a RichTextBox in which users will be inserting text. I also must give the user the ability to insert characters. To do so I have called up charmap.exe using
    Process charProcess = new Process();
    ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
    charProcess.StartInfo.FileName = strCharmap;
    charProcess.Start();
    etc., and it works fine. There are several problems I have basically with charmap, however, not with WPF. The first is that because of the subsequent use of the user’s insertion in the RTB, I must restrict the font to “Ariel Unicode
    MS.”  So far all I have been able to do is instruct and warn the user not to change fonts and 
    change back any font change that occurs as a result of use of “Advanced view” features.
    Question number one is, how can I restrict the fonts loaded into charmap to this one font? The second problem is that if another font is called up, or the “Advanced view” state of charmap is closed, or a “Group by” feature is opened, these choices will
    be retained for the next user that opens charmap. How can I initialize the state of charmap for each new user with the correct font and “Advanced view” features showing. It is said,but in old posts, that reinitialization occurs for all but administrative users,
    but this seems to be no longer true. I have tried permission changes in charmap’s Properties, but I can’t get the necessary reinitialization to occur even if user’s don’t have modify permission. Can one use a .ini file, or the .mui file, or make Registry changes
    to accomplish my goals. There seems to be a warning in the .mui file about changing fonts, but is it cancelled? I am using Windows 7 and C#.
    I have looked at other character maps but they are either too complicated for the casual user, or they have no search engine and advanced features, or they have the same problems.
    I am pretty much a novice with respect to the Windows files use and WPF, so please be fairly clear, complete, and prescriptive in your answer. Also so that I and others can learn, it would be nice to have an explanation of why one does whatever you suggest.
    Your help is appreciated.

    I suspect that it's still the case. You may even have this message in your own dmesg.
    Switch console to VGA mode and use xterm instead.
    This has nothing to do with resolution setting in a framebuffer, which is what the title of the thread suggests.
    I'm pretty sure it does - it looks like the console is being switched to VGA text mode; nvidia has no reason to touch fonts.

  • The character viewer no longer shows the complete unicode map, as it had in SnowLeopard. How do I get it back?

    Just upgraded to Lion. The character viewer, which previously allowed one to see the entire unicode map for each font, no longer does this. It shows only certain kinds of symbols, not all of them. I am unhappy: I need to be able to access alternative letters and symbols, not just European vowels. Can someone help me?

    Hi Sally,
    I is still there, but a bit hidden.
    1. Open the character viewer
    2. Open the gear menu in the top left corner and select 'customize list...'
    3. Go down to the bottom of the list 'Select categories...' and open 'Code Tables'.
    4. Mark 'Unicode' for inclusion and click 'Done'.
    Now open in the character viewer window the freshly added 'Unicode' category.
    It is a bit cramped, but there it is: the old and trusted character viewer with all unicode categories and associated font variations.
    good luck!
    regards,
    Twan

  • Restoring default console font size

    I recently performed a long overdue series of updates, and now I'm facing the same font size issue that was discussed in this thread: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=96768
    Now I've seen this page, which talks about changing the font and the size: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … fault_font
    But the thing is I actually like the font, it's just the size that I'm trying to change. When the system starts to boot, the size is great. It's only after "waiting for udev uevents to be processed" has finished that the font gets tiny. So I know the right settings are somewhere in there, I just don't know where to keep them the way they are without getting changed.
    I have a sneaking suspicion the fix is easy, I'm just missing it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Instructions for changing the default console font are on the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … fault_font
    As far as I can tell, the default font is called, oddly enough, default - and if you look in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts you will see only two options: 8x16 and 8x9 - use setfont to confirm.
    If neither of those is large enough after KMS kicks in, you might try one of the other older school fonts in that directory.
    Oddly enough, it is called default, haha. Played around with a couple of the font settings, but what wound up happening was that it would load the font, and then after ""waiting for udev uevents to be processed" finished, the font got tiny again.
    So it might be a resolution thing. Will look into that.

  • [SOLVED] Console Font Gets Reset During Boot

    I've recently switched to Arch Linux and am quite happy with it.  I've never had so much fun with Linux until a friend recommended Arch.  I have since installed it on both my MacBook Pro and Mac mini.  Everything has been pretty smooth, but I do have one issue.
    During the boot process, the system starts up with its default console font, per the usual.  I have edited /etc/vconsole.conf to set the font to Lat2-Terminus16 and to set the keyboard layout to Dvorak.  Here's my current config:
    KEYMAP=dvorak
    FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
    Part-way through the boot process, the font switches to use the new font.  So far, so good.  Shortly after, however, the screen gets cleared and continues to produce normal kernel messages until the screen is cleared once again and presents the boot prompt, but with the default console font as opposed to the font in vconsole.conf.  I am able to re-set the font again by using the setfont command, but this is a bit of an inconvenience.  The keyboard layout, however, is as it should be: set to Dvorak.  So, systemd-vconsole-setup.service is doing its job.
    I have narrowed down the problem to that when agetty starts, it seems to be resetting the font back to the default.  I have tried adding nouveau (my machines have Nvidia) to the array of modules within /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and rebuilding initramfs, but I get the same results.  I have also tried adding vconsole.font=Lat2-Terminus16 to the boot arguments in GRUB, but I get the same results.  This is affecting both of my machines.  I have updated them with pacman -Syu, but the problem still exists.
    I have found a workaround which is to add a service to systemd (I call it fontfix.service), set it to start after getty.target, and have it included in multi-user.target.  But is there a better way?  Or is something else other than agetty resetting the font?
    tl;dr
    agetty appears to be resetting the console font after systemd-vconsole-setup.service sets the font.  Is there a way to have agetty recognize what console font is currently is use?  Or is something else other than agetty resetting the font?

  • [SOLVED] Console Font Not Retained After Reboot

    Hi, again.  Happy to report that I successfully installed Arch Linux last night, with no problems whatsoever.  Thanks to those who addressed my concerns.  Still reading up on the package manager, user and group management, etc.
    Anyway, one of the first things I noticed is that the console font gets reset after every reboot.  I need to manually type "setfont Lat2-Terminus16" - which works just fine, except for the annoyance in having to do that each time I boot up.  My /etc/vconsole.conf has the following:
    KEYMAP=us
    FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
    Following the solution described here:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155876
    I added 'consolefont' (without quotes) to the beginning (first item) of the HOOKS line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf.  Then I rebuilt the initramfs by typing "mkinitcpio -p linux".  Again, no errors during the rebuild.
    I've rebooted several times, but there's no change...  my selected console font is not retained.
    Can anyone point what I'm doing wrong, or offer ideas?  Thanks.

    Have you tried
    If the fonts seems to not change on boot, or change only temporarily, it is most likely that they got reset when graphics driver was initialized and console was switched to framebuffer. To avoid this, load your graphics driver earlier. See for example KMS#Early_KMS_start or other ways to setup your framebuffer before /etc/vconsole.conf gets applied.

  • [solved]systemd and console font

    Hi guys. I've just switched my laptop over to systemd and so far I'm finding it great! I am, however, having a slight issue with getting it to set a console font, err, properly.
    KEYMAP=uk
    FONT=Lat2-Terminus16
    Before switching to systemd, this worked fine. However now when I boot up, the font is set early (I have the hook in mkinitcpio.conf) but once I get to the login screen, the screen flickers and I end up back on the default font. I've tried this with several of the available fonts and it happens with all of them. I don't have it set anywhere else, so I'm not sure why the font is being reset. Has anyone else come across this issue yet?
    Cheers.

    Yes, I did rebuild it. I didn't have the video driver in MODULES though; adding it has now solved the issue. Don't know why I hadn't added i915 to that array though.

  • Console Fonts... inconsolata?

    Hey folks,
    So, I program a lot and it has made me a bit nutty about my fonts.  I'm big fan of Inconsolata.  Trouble is, it seems the console can't handle ttf? Or more accurately, the console font must come from /usr/shared/kbd/consolefonts.
    My question is this: is there a work-around or am I doomed?
    Thanks!

    Generally you can't use true type fonts (or open type fonts) in the console, though you can use them in a terminal emulator running under X. A similar thread on this here may interest you.

  • Update FM7 fonts to fm11 unicode support

    Hi to all,
    a customer of mine would upgrade to framemaker 11 from fm7. He make documentation in a lot of languages, western, but also Central europe, middle east, chinese, russian, etc.
    In FM7 he used Helvetica CE, Arial CE, Times Greek, Helvetica Cyr, and so on.
    Now he would like to convert his files to unicode support (Arial, Myriad...).
    Suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Mario.

    A further issue with the transition from overlay/codepage fonts to Unicode is whether or not the desired typefaces are available as Unicode, and whether or not they have all the required glyphs populated at the Unicode code points used in your documents.
    Assuming that any arbitrary "Unicode" font covers more than a fraction of Unicode codepoints would be a mistake. Generating, scaling, hinting and otherwise optimizing 110 000 glyphs is a daunting task. I wouldn't be surprised if no single font has covered it all yet (other than Adobe Blank). The question then becomes: what's missing? I suspect most "Unicode" fonts have only a tiny fraction of Unicode space covered. There's also the question of whether variations (italic, bold, etc.) match the basic coverage.
    You might expect font foundries to provide pages or PDFs detailing all the Unicode scripts a font covers, by variation, and showing at least a bitmapped preview of what each glyph looks like. This doesn't seem to be the case.
    A few minutes in Adobe's Type Products discovered no obvious means of determining codepoint coverage. A couple of other big name foundries at least had icon sets, each icon representing a Unicode Script set, but no comprehensive list of codepoints covered. At least one site allowed pasting/typing arbitrary text into a dialog so you could see if a particular glyph was populated, and what it looked like. Hope you don't have questions about too many.
    Unless I've missed something, this situation appears to be a mess.
    And how does FM8+ behave when the document contains a codepoint not implemented by the font applied?
    Zero-length character?
    Blank?
    [] or [?]?
    Switches to font that has the codepoint?

  • [SOLVED] Virtual console font setting is not being applied

    TL;DR I want to have the ter-114b font (from the terminus-font package; its path is /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/ter-114b.psf.gz) as my console font.
    What have I done:
    % cat /etc/vconsole.conf
    KEYMAP=br-abnt2
    FONT=ter-114b
    According to the wiki, this setting should be sufficient. However, there is something wrong, because whenever I reboot my computer, I get the default font instead (I can notice that by executing setfont ter-114b, then I see the difference).
    Further information:
    % systemctl status systemd-vconsole-setup

    CGroup: /system.slice/systemd-vconsole-setup.service
    The Wiki also mentions something about loading KMS earlier than vconsole, however I'm not sure if this refers to the part which talks about putting 'consolefont' as a mkinitcpio hook, or if this refers to the whole section. Anyways, even if I tried to follow this, the problem is the i915 hook (my notebook has an Intel graphics card) doesn't exist as a mkinitcpio module, as the wiki indicates. Or I don't have the necessary module file.
    Any clues about what could be wrong here?
