NAME¶
charset - Set an ACM for use in one of the G0/G1 charset slots.SYNOPSIS¶
charset [-v] G0|G1 [cp437|iso01|vt100|user|<acm_name>]DESCRIPTION¶
The linux console has 2 slots for charsets, labeled G0 and G1. charset changes the slot in use by the current VT to either G0 or G1, and fills the slot either with one of the 3 predefined ACMs (cp437, iso01, vt100) or with a user-defined ACM.OPTIONS¶
- -v
- be verbose. charset will then print what it does as
it does it.
BUGS¶
charset cannot determine which of the 2 slots is in use at a given time, so you have to tell him which one you want, even if you don't want to change to the other one. This is a limitation of the console driver.SEE ALSO¶
