Slovene(5)
NAME
  Slovene, slovene - Introduction to Slovene language support

DESCRIPTION
  This reference page describes the coded character set (codeset), locale,
  device, font, and other kinds of support for the Slovene language as used
  in the Slovene Republic.

  Codesets


  The operating system supports the following codesets for Slovene by means
  of locales, codeset converters, or both:

    ·  ISO 8859-2 (ISO Latin 2)

       ISO8859-2 is the string that represents this codeset in names of
       locales and codeset converters. See iso8859-2(5) for more information.

    ·  UCS-2, UCS-4, and UTF-8

       UCS-2, UCS-4, ucs4, and UTF-8 are the strings that represent these
       encoding formats in the names of locales and codeset converters. See
       Unicode(5) for more information.

    ·  PC code pages

       cp852 and cp1252 are the strings that represent these encoding formats
       in the names of codeset converters.  See code_page(5) for more
       information.

  See the i18n_intro(5) and l10n_intro(5) reference pages for introductory
  information on codesets. The iconv_intro(5) reference page discusses
  codeset converters and how to use them.

  Locales


  The operating system provides the following locale for the Slovene language
  and Slovenia:

    ·  sl_SI.ISO8859-2

       The sl_SI.ISO8859-2@ucs4 variant of this locale is also available to
       applications that need to convert file data in ISO8859-2 format to
       UCS-4 process code to perform certain operations on characters.

  You can use the locale command (see locale(1)) to find out which locales
  are installed on your system. See i18n_intro(5) for information on setting
  locale from the operating system command line.

  For the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you set locale by setting the
  session language. To do this, use the Language menu accessed from the
  Options button of the Login window.




  Keyboards


  The operating system supports the following VT style and PC style keyboards
  with Slovene characters printed on the keys:

  _____________________________________________
  VT Style (105/108 keys)   PC Style (102 keys)
  _____________________________________________
  LK401-BY		    LK471-BY
  LK411-BY		    LK47W-BY
  LK461-BY		    LK97W-BY
  LK46W-BY		    PCXAL-HY
			    PCXAL-PY
			    PCXAL-SY
  _____________________________________________

  For your keyboard to function correctly with your system, you must load a
  keyboard mapping table (keymap) that is appropriate for your keyboard's
  model and language. If you load a keymap that does not correspond to your
  keyboard's model and language, your keyboard behavior is unpredictable. The
  label located on the bottom surface of a keyboard usually specifies its
  model (five letter code) and language (two letter code). See the
  keyboard(5) reference page for general information on keymaps and
  instructions for loading them in different formats. The following tables
  supply Slovene-specific information that you need when loading keymaps.

  Selecting keymaps in xkb format:

  ________________________________________________________
  For VT Style		   For PC Style
  Keyboard:	 Select:   Keyboard:	  Select:
  ________________________________________________________
  LK401-BY	 lk401	   LK471-BY	  lk471by or lk471
  LK411-BY	 lk411	   LK47W-BY	  lk471by or lk471
  LK461-BY	 lk461	   LK97W-BY	  lk97wby or lk97w
  LK46W-BY	 lk461	   PCXAL-HY	  pcxalhy
			   PCXAL-PY	  pcxalpy
			   PCXAL-SY	  pcxalsy
  ________________________________________________________

  Selecting keymaps in xmodmap format:

  _______________________________________________________
  For VT Style		       For PC Style
  Keyboard:	 Select:       Keyboard:      Select:
  _______________________________________________________
  LK401-BY	 scs lk401by   LK471-BY	      scs pcxalhy
  LK411-BY	 scs lk411by   LK47W-BY	      scs pcxalhy
  LK461-BY	 scs lk411by   PCXAL-HY	      scs pcxalhy
  LK46W-BY	 scs lk411by   PCXAL-PY	      scs pcxalpy
			       PCXAL-SY	      scs pcxalhy
  _______________________________________________________

  Keyboards can have keys with characters printed on both the left and right
  half of the keycap. The way you set or use your keyboard to send different
  sets of characters varies from one keyboard model to another. Furthermore,
  your keyboard allows you to enter more characters than those printed on the
  keycaps. Refer to the keyboard(5) reference page for information on how to
  enter characters.






  Printers


  The PostScript fonts available for languages supported by the ISO 8859-2
  codeset are listed on the iso8859-2(5) reference page.

  Refer to the i18n_printing(5) reference page for discussion of printer
  support options.
