Hello,
I am struggling with a few minor issues in NixOS and finally want to
ask how to solve them. My problem is that German umlauts are not fully
working.
I can type umlauts in X11 applications and they get displayed
correctly. I cannot type umlauts in X11 terminal applications and they
don't get displayed correctly. The same applies to the console.
I am using xterm as terminal application and zsh as user shell. Here
is some output I consider relevant to this issue.
> $ cat /etc/nixos/configuration.nix | grep -A 8 i18n
> i18n = {
> consoleFont = "lat9w-16";
> consoleKeyMap = "de-latin1-nodeadkeys";
> defaultLocale = "de_DE.UTF-8";
> supportedLocales = [ "de_DE.UTF-8" "en_US.UTF-8" ];
> };
> $ locale
> LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
> [...]
> LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8
> $ echo $LANGUAGE
> de:en
Any hints on what's wrong would be greatly appreciated.
