LOADUNIMAP(8) System Manager's Manual LOADUNIMAP(8)
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The loadunimap command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into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(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 as-
sumed. 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(8).
FILES
/usr/share/unimaps
