NAME

       Lithuanian, lithuanian - Introduction to Lithuanian language support

DESCRIPTION

       This  reference	page describes the coded character set (codeset), locale, device, font, and other kinds of support for the Lithuanian lan-
       guage.

   Codesets
       The operating system supports the following codesets for Lithuanian by means of locales, codeset  converters,  or  both:  ISO  8859-4  (ISO
       Latin-4)

	      ISO8859-4  is the string that represents this codeset in names of locales and codeset converters. See iso8859-4(5) for more informa-
	      tion.  UCS-2, UCS-4, and UTF-8

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

	      cp775  and  cp1257  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  dis-
       cusses codeset converters and how to use them.

   Locales
       The operating system provides the following locale for the Lithuanian language and Lithuania: lt_LT.ISO8859-4

	      The  lt_LT.ISO8859-4@ucs4 variant of this locale is also available for applications that need to convert file data in ISO8859-4 for-
	      mat to UCS-4 process code in order to perform certain character-classification operations.

       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 Lithuanian characters printed on the keys:

       ----------------------------------------------
       VT Style (105/108 keys)	 PC Style (102 keys)
       ----------------------------------------------
       LK401			 LK471
       LK411			 LK97W
				 PCXAL
       ----------------------------------------------

       For your keyboard to function correctly with your system, you must load a keyboard mapping table (keymap) that is appropriate for your key-
       board'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  let-
       ter  code).  See  the keyboard(5) reference page for general information on keymaps and instructions for loading them in different formats.
       The following tables supply Lithuanian-specific information that you need when loading keymaps.

       Selecting keymaps in xkb format:

       ------------------------------------------------
       For VT Style		For PC Style
       Keyboard:      Select:	Keyboard:      Select:
       ------------------------------------------------
       LK401	      lk401	LK471	       lk471
       LK411	      lk411	LK97W	       lk97w
				PCXAL	       pcxal
       ------------------------------------------------

       Selecting keymaps in xmodmap format:

       ------------------------------------------------------------------
       For VT Style			 For PC Style
       Keyboard:      Select:		 Keyboard:	Select:
       ------------------------------------------------------------------
       LK401	      lithuanian lk401	 PCXAL		lithuanian pcxal
       LK411	      lithuanian lk411
       ------------------------------------------------------------------

       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 operating system does not provide PostScript fonts for the ISO Latin-4 codeset.

       See i18n_printing(5) for information about your printer support options.
