NAME
loadunimap - load the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table
SYNOPSIS
loadunimap
[
-C
console
] [
-o
oldmap
] [
map
]
DESCRIPTION
The
loadunimap
command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into setfont.
However, for backwards compatibility it is still available
as a separate command.
The program
loadunimap
loads the specified map in the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table.
If no map is given
def
is assumed.
The default extension (that can be omitted) is
.uni.
If the
-o
oldmap
option is given, the old map is saved in the file specified.
On Linux 2.6.1 and later one can specify the console device using the
-C
option.
Usually one does not call
loadunimap
directly - its function is also built into
setfont.
FILES
/lib/kbd/unimaps
is the default directory for unicode mappings.
