NAME¶

loadunimap - load the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table

SYNOPSIS¶

loadunimap [options] [map]

DESCRIPTION¶

The loadunimap command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into setfont(8). 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 mapping table is assumed. The default extension (that can be omitted) is .uni.

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(8).

OPTIONS¶

-o, --output=FILE

save the old map to the FILE.

-C, --console=DEV

the console device to be used.

-V, --version

print version number.

-h, --help

print this usage message.

FILES¶

/usr/share/unimaps

The default directory for unicode mappings.

/usr/share/unimaps/def.uni

The default mapping file.
