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 MSDOS codepage keymaps or fonts. Use the ISO standard version if available! X11 does not support MSDOS 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

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