I am fond of traditional larger 80x25 consoles but I respect others' right to prefer a different look. The question is, what fonts does vt(4) use, and how do I choose a font? The vidfont command complains of "getting keymap: Inappropriate ioctl for device". Can I use /usr/share/syscons/fonts/*.fnt fonts or X fonts or TrueType fonts or some special format with it? > > Unicode support is one of vt(4)'s benefits (screen maps not required); > is there a reason you'd not want it? The reason is all my systems have used the ru_RU.KOI8-R locale for years. All filenames, text files, E-mails, HTML pages etc. are KOI8-R encoded. > Keymap support (via rc.conf settings) is not yet available but will > come soon. Do you mean to say I cannot switch vt from Latin to Cyrillic input yet? -- Victor Sudakov Tomsk, Russia Russian Barefoot FAQ at http://www.barefooters.ru/barefoot.txt
