[Asterisk-Users] Re: Strange text on Asterisk console

[Albert Chaffman]

I have also had this problem with every FC1 box I have built and run
Asterisk on.  

I usually don't touch the console of linux boxes, but it would be nice
to just ALT-F9 and leave that console up eternally.  But I got the same
unreadable text for the colored text, and sometimes even non colored
lines.  

This is what I did to resolve this.  Edit /etc/sysconfig/i18n and change
the SYSFONT="latarcyrheb-sun16" to SYSFONT="lat0-sun16".  This worked
for me in the US.

If you look in /lib/kbd/consolefonts you will see a listing of all the
console fonts that FC1 comes with.

No, when I installed the OS, I selected only English(Great Britain).
Only some of the characters appear to be Cyrillic.

The point is, only the coloured text is affected: the normal text is OK.

Anyone actually seen this behaviour before?
