WHAT WE WILL NEED
We should install Yann Dirson's <dirson@debian.org> package
console-tools, which can be downloaded from <ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/
pub/Linux/system/keyboards/console-tools-1998.08.11.tar.gz> or
<ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/Incoming/console-tools-1998.08.11.tar.gz>
(there might be a newer version). This package contains tools for
loading fonts and keyboard maps onto the console, replacing standard
package kbd. It already includes some fonts, and this package is an
extension to them.
If you want to use dynafont, you should also install my package Konwert,
which mostly converts character sets and can be downloaded from
<http://qrczak.home.ml.org/programy/linux/konwert/>.
For compilation perl 5.001 or later is required.
INSTALLATION
If you are installing from sources:
Run `make install' in the source directory.
The default configuration assumes that:
- fonts from console-tools are in the /usr/share/consolefonts directory
- konwert's data files are in /usr/local/share/konwert/{filters,aux}
and /usr/local/lib/konwert/aux
- filterm program from Konwert is in /usr/local/bin/filterm
- perl is where `which perl` finds it.
- documentation is to be put in /usr/local/doc/fonty-1.0
You may specify different paths; the following explicit specification is
equivalent to the above default paths:
make install \
consolefontsdir=/usr/share/consolefonts \
consoletransdir=/usr/share/consoletrans \
konwertsharedir=/usr/local/share/konwert \
konwertlibdir=/usr/local/lib/konwert \
konwertbindir=/usr/local/bin \
perl=`which perl` \
docprefix=/usr/local
The two paths concerning console-tools may be changed at once by giving
a directory instead of the default `consoleprefix=/usr'. Similarly the
three paths concerning Konwert - `konwertprefix=/usr/local'.
`make uninstall' uninstalls the package. It requires the same options
specifying nonstandard paths as `make install'.
USAGE
In startup scripts (e.g. in RedHat in /etc/rc.d/init.d/keytable
instead of the setfont invocation) put e.g. (for ISO-8859-2):
consolechars -f iso2-16 -m iso02 -k qrczak
The console may be switched to various mappings; details are described
in the doc/en/theory file. To activate a different mapping than ISO-8859-1,
add e.g. in /etc/profile (to be executed on every login):
echo -ne '\33(K'
