Try the following lines in /etc/rc.conf: font8x8="iso1-8x8" font8x14="iso1-8x14" font8x16="iso1-8x16" keymap="danish.iso" Also, set the environment variable LC_CTYPE to da_DK.ISO8859-1. That should do it. (Change 1 to 15 in the above examples if you want Euro-currency-char support.) Hope this helps, -- Martin Karlsson
