sigma console fonts 0.5 (Default branch)
The sigma console fonts are a set of UTF-8 fontswhich provide readability and wide coverage. Theyinclude the "master" bdf file and screen font map(.sfm) files to control what goes into aparticular 'psfu' font, so you can change theappearance of a glyph or create a selectionspecific to your needs. For many people, the'general' map will cover your needs, but there area number of other maps, including african,caucasian, cyrillic (primarily for all livelanguages using a cyrillic alphabet), andvietnamese. The bdf font itself is public domain,derived from etl16.License: BSD License (revised)Changes:
Ellipses have been added to the main screen fonts to support trac 0.11. The form of lowercase 'g' has been improved. The default for fonts and docs is now both /usr/local. Double-quotes have been corrected to the normal form. 'eth' has been reshaped. There are corrections to some of the example alphabets. A patch has been applied to correct the bdf file so that bdftopcf will work with it.Image

unicode_start

UNICODE_START(1)					      General Commands Manual						  UNICODE_START(1)

NAME

       unicode_start - put keyboard and console in unicode mode

SYNOPSIS

       unicode_start [font [umap]]

DESCRIPTION

       The unicode_start command will put the keyboard and console into Unicode (UTF-8) mode.

       For  the  keyboard  this  means that one can attach 16-bit U+xxxx values to keyboard keys using loadkeys(1), and have these appear as UTF-8
       input to user programs.	Also, that one can type hexadecimal Alt-xxxx using the numeric keypad, and again produce UTF-8.

       For the console this means that the kernel expects UTF-8 output from user programs, and displays the output accordingly.

       The parameter font is a font that is loaded. It should have a built-in Unicode map, or, if it hasn't, such a map can be given explicitly as
       second parameter.  When no font was specified, the current font is kept.

NOTE

       Unicode mode is a parameter with a value per virtual console.  However, usually the font and keymap is common to all consoles.
