This package provides the Linux console with the same keyboard configuration scheme as the X Window System. As a result, there is no need to duplicate or change the keyboard files just to make simple customizations such as the use of dead keys, the key functioning as AltGr or Compose key, the key(s) to switch between Latin and non-Latin mode, etc.
The package also contains console fonts supporting many of the world's languages. It provides a unified set of font faces - the classic VGA, the simplistic Fixed, and the clean Terminus, TerminusBold, and TerminusBoldVGA.
This package can be useful for handhelds or other devices with small storage space.
The package supports only UTF-8. Legacy 8-bit encodings are not supported.
