charset - Set an ACM for use in one of the G0/G1 charset slots. |

!!DESCRIPTION |
| |
|
20 |
|
| |
|
21 |
|
| |
|
22 |
The linux console has 2 slots for charsets, labeled |
| |
|
23 |
''G0'' and ''G1''. __charset__ changes the slot in |
| |
|
24 |
use by the current VT to either ''G0'' or ''G1'', and |
| |
|
25 |
fills the slot either with one of the 3 predefined ACMs |
| |
|
26 |
(''cp437'', ''iso01'', ''vt100'') or with a |
| |
|
27 |
user-defined ACM. |
| |
|
28 |
|
| |
|
29 |
|
| |
|
30 |
You can ask for the current user-defined ACM by specifying |
| |
|
31 |
''user'', or ask a new ACM to be loaded from a file into |
| |
|
32 |
the user slot, by specifying a filename. |
| |
|
33 |
|
| |
|
34 |
|
| |
|
35 |
You will note that, although each VT has its own slot |
| |
|
36 |
settings, there is only one user-defined ACM for all the |
| |
|
37 |
VTs. That is, whereas you can have tty1 using |
| |
|
38 |
''G0=cp437'' and ''G1=vt100'', at the same time as |
| |
|
39 |
tty2 using ''G0=iso01'' and ''G1=iso02'' |
| |
|
40 |
(user-defined), you __cannot__ have at the same time tty1 |
| |
|
41 |
using ''iso02'' and tty2 using ''iso03''. This is a |
| |
|
42 |
limitation of the linux kernel. |
| |
|
43 |
|
| |
|
44 |
|
| |
|
45 |
Note that you can emulate such a setting using the |
| |
|
46 |
filterm(1) utility, with your console in UTF8-mode, |
| |
|
47 |
by telling __filterm__ to translate screen output |
| |
|
48 |
on-the-fly to UTF8. |
| |
|
49 |
|
| |
|
50 |
|
| |
|
51 |
You'll find filterm(1) in the konwert(1) |
| |
|
52 |
package, by Marcin Kowalczyk, which is available from |
| |
|
53 |
''http://qrczak.home.ml.org/''. |

be verbose. __charset__ will then print what it does as |
| |
|
61 |
it does it. |
| |
|
62 |
!!BUGS |
| |
|
63 |
|
| |
|
64 |
|
| |
|
65 |
__charset__ cannot determine which of the 2 slots is in |
| |
|
66 |
use at a given time, so you have to tell him which one you |
| |
|
67 |
want, even if you don't want to change to the other one. |
| |
|
68 |
This is a limitation of the console driver. |
