Man page 8 : loadunimap

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

loadunimap [

-C console] [

-o oldmap] [ map]

The

loadunimap command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into setfont.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

If the

-o oldmapoption 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

R setfont .

/usr/share/unimapsis the default directory for unicode mappings.
