DESCRIPTION
Thekbdmap utility allows easy setting of available
keymaps. The vidfont command allows the setting of
fonts. Both examine a database for the keymaps and fonts. Descriptions are in
English by default, but may also be in other languages. These programs are
interactive and expect to run in a terminal to get required input (e.g., a
keymap selection) from the user.
It is strongly recommended to not choose MS-DOS codepage keymaps or fonts. Use the ISO standard version if available! X11 does not support MS-DOS codepage.
The following options are available:
-K- Run as command
kbdmap. -V- Run as command
vidfont. -d,-default- Use default language. Ignore
LANGenvironment variable. -h,-help- Print options and exit.
-l,-langlanguage- Use language for description and menu.
-p,-print- Print description of available keymaps or fonts to stdout and exit.
-r,-restore- Load default font from /etc/rc.conf.
-s,-show- Show currently supported languages and exit.
-v,-verbose- More warnings.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG- preferred language

The kbdmap and
vidfont utilities work only on a (virtual) console
and not with X11.
