[Pkg-kbd-devel] Bug#389970: console-setup: Can't use Danish special characters

[Thue Janus Kristensen]

Package: console-setup
Version: 1.7
Severity: normal


I am not able to use the Danish character æ,ø,å in the console. They
work fine in X11 (except in virtual consoles inside X11).

This did not work before installing console-setup either. I assume
part of console-setup's job is that make that work?

I tried various combinations of settings for console-setup
(unicode/non-unicode), but couldn't get it to work.

Regards, Thue
