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 language.

  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 information.

    ·  UTF-16, UCS-4, and UTF-8

       UTF-16, 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 i18n_intro(5) and l10n_intro(5) for introductory information on
  codesets. See iconv_intro(5) for a discussion of codeset converters and how
  to use them.

  Locales

  The operating system provides the following locales 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 format to
       UCS-4 process code in order to perform certain character-
       classification operations.

    ·  lt_LT.UTF-8

       UTF-8 locales support file code and internal process code according to
       ISO 10646 and Unicode standards. File code, in UTF-8 locales, may
       include characters encoded in more than 1 byte; therefore, use these
       locales in applications that can process multibyte data. The UTF-8
       locale supports the euro monetary symbol; see euro(5).

  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
  a locale from the operating system command line.

  In the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), you need to set a locale by
  setting the session language. To do this, from the Options menu of the
  Login window, choose Language. Then, from the Language options menu, choose
  a session language.

  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)
  _____________________________________________
  LK411			    LK471
			    LK97W
			    PCXAL
  _____________________________________________

  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 keyboard(5)
  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:
  _______________________________________________
  LK411		 lk411	   LK471	  lk471
			   LK97W	  lk97w
			   PCXAL	  pcxal
  _______________________________________________

  Selecting keymaps in xmodmap format:

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

  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. See keyboard(5) 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.
