Hello,
I am happily running a vintage VT320 on my Linux Box with

/sbin/agetty -o -p -- \u --keep-baud 115200,38400,9600 ttyS0 vt320

Problem is that the German Umlauts are not displayed correctly. In override.conf for the systemd-service I have configured :

[Service]
Environment=TERM=vt320
Environment=LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
Environment=LANG=en_US.UTF-8
Environment=LANGUAGE=en_US:en

Does anybody havre the correct settings already figured out ? Cursor keys and delete / erase have been solved by using 7 Bit Controls in the terminal settings.

Regards

Michael

I am typing this on a real VT320 and everything displays correctly. It
is connected to a VMS system.

Is the problem the settings of the terminal or some setting on linux?

The VT320 will not understand UTF-8. Can you try ISO 8859-1?
Test printf '\x303' which should display Ä.

The VT320 probably doesn't understand ISO 8859-1 either, but rather the
Dec Multinational Character Set. However, except for a few rather rare characters, the two are identical.

Environment=LC_ALL=de_DE.ISO-8859-1
Environment=LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1

Does the trick perfectly.
