how to set up UTF8 russian in -current?

[Anton Shterenlikht]

My system is amd64 r209195.

I was wondering if the user localisation
section of the handbook is a bit out of date:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/using-localization.html

The handbook suggests using cons25r, whereas
the default console type in /etc/ttys is now xterm.
And keeping cons25r together with relevant fonts,
screenmap and keymap in /etc/rc.conf doesn't seem
to work anymore.

Also, the latest I can find on UTF8 in FreeBSD
is this thread:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-July/009349.html

I tried to follow the advice given in this thread,
namely I've rebuilt the kernel with TEKEN_UTF8
(it seems the other option mentioned, TEKEN_XTERM, is no
longer valid), and set LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8
in my shell. This didn't seem to have any effect.


Please advise
many thanks
