Can't enter Turkish characters in tty console

[ismail dönmez]

Using dpkg-reconfigure locales , I set up my main language to be tr_TR.UTF-8 but
in tty console trying to under turkish characters shows up as white rectangles.

Does there exist a proper UTF-8 Turkish font for the console?

It was working fine in Debian Sid so there must be one.

Tested latarcyrheb-sun16.psf and its working fine.I can even use euro character. And btw I found a typo
in /etc/console-tools/config file. It says

# Set the following - more euro-friendly default than kernel font.
# SCREEN_FONT=latcyrheb=sun16.psf

It must say

# Set the following - more euro-friendly default than kernel font.
# SCREEN_FONT=latarcyrheb-sun16.psf

Is the console-terminus package installed? That provides the font that
localechooser sets for Turkish by default, namely ter-916f.psf.

If that's inadequate, I can change it to latarcyrheb-sun16.

Installed console-terminus and its much better. Maybe this package should be installed by default. Also don't forget to
fix the typo :-)

It's already installed by default if you selected Turkish in the installer:

case "$LANGUAGE" in
[...]
    tr)
        # Turkish
        pkginstall console-terminus
        ;;

What image did you use to install your system, and what language did you select
in the installer?

I had to select english because of another bug which is fixed now. Thanks!
