Lithuanian(5)
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.

    ·  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 discusses
  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 format 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.

  In a windows environment, you also need to set the session language.	The
  way you do this depends on which windows environment you are using:

    ·  In the Common Desktop environment (CDE), use the Language menu
       accessed from the login window Options button.

    ·  In the DECwindows environment, use the Language Option dialog box
       invoked from the Session Manager's Options menu.

  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 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 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.
