Binary packages built by this source
- bdf2psf: font converter to generate console fonts from BDF source fonts
This package provides a command-line converter that can be used in
scripts to build console fonts from BDF sources automatically. The
converter comes with a collection of font encodings that cover many
of the world's languages. The output font can use a different
character encoding from the input. When the source font does not
define a glyph for a particular symbol in the encoding table, that
glyph position in the console font is not wasted but used for another
symbol.
.
When deciding about the position in the font for a particular glyph,
the converter takes into account that in text video modes the video
adapter copies the eighth column of the glyph matrix of symbols
positioned in the pseudographic area to the ninth column. In order to
create fonts for text video modes, the width of the glyph matrix of
the source BDF font should be seven, eight, or nine pixels; otherwise the
converter creates fonts suitable for framebuffer only.
- console-setup: console font and keymap setup program
This package provides the console with the same keyboard
configuration scheme as the X Window System. As a result, there is no
need to duplicate or change the keyboard files just to make simple
customizations such as the use of dead keys, the key functioning as
AltGr or Compose key, the key(s) to switch between Latin and
non-Latin mode, etc.
.
The package also installs console fonts supporting many of the
world's languages. It provides an unified set of font faces - the
classic VGA, the simplistic Fixed, and the cleaned Terminus,
TerminusBold and TerminusBoldVGA.
- console-setup-linux: Linux specific part of console-setup
This package includes fonts in psf format and definitions of various
8-bit charmaps.
- console-setup-mini: console font and keymap setup program - reduced version for Linux
This package provides the console with the same keyboard
configuration scheme as the X Window System. As a result, there is no
need to duplicate or change the keyboard files just to make simple
customizations such as the use of dead keys, the key functioning as
AltGr or Compose key, the key(s) to switch between Latin and
non-Latin mode, etc.
.
This package can be useful for handhelds or other devices with small
storage space.
- keyboard-configuration: system-wide keyboard preferences
This package maintains the keyboard preferences in
/etc/default/keyboard. Other packages can use the information
provided by this package in order to configure the keyboard on the
console or in X Window.
