I have installed noto-fonts-cjk but the Linux kernel terminal won’t display Japanese/Chinese characters. Environment: ThinkPad T480 Arch Linux Edit: I managed to track down this page wiki.archlinux.org/title/Linux_console and realize that I need to setfont. Now I just need to find which one in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts can display Japanese, I suppose. Edit2: looked through …github.io/linux-console-fonts-screenshots/ to no avail. Edit3: this thread askubuntu.com/…/how-do-i-display-chinese-japanese… hints at this not being a possibility, because - paraphrased - the framebuffer can’t hold 2000 characters, which is what I would like it to be able to display. Edit4: as pointed out in the above askubuntu thread, and as @mina86@lemmy.wtf secondarily recommends, fbterm seems to be the solution: wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fbterm Edit5: kmscon also seems to be able to display CJK: wiki.archlinux.org/title/KMSCON Marking as SOLVED, but I have not yet tried replacing the Linux kernel terminal. That’ll have to wait until next weekend.
