The 512 glyph fonts are fine if framebuffer is used but in text video modes only 8 foreground colours can be displayed. > The case of Cyrillic languages might be more complicated as a few > glyphs may be missing for some of them (Eugenyi....your skills here > could help). I hope that the last upstream version of the Terminus font supports these glyphs. Even if it doesn't the upstream is willing to improve the font and regularly releases new versions. > I also CC Anton Zinoviev, who maintains console-terminus, to this > mail. Anton, your help might be required if deeply technical issues > are raised.....:-) Thanks for your CC. :-) Christian, I am sure you will like the following package: svn checkout svn://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-kbd/people/zinoviev/console-setup This package provides uniform fonts for the console and powerfull keyboard configuration. It supports virtually all languages and should be usable with non-AT keyboards also (this is untested though). I think this package will obsolete completely the current package console-cyrillic. The future versions of the fonts in console-terminus will follow the codesets of the fonts in console-setup. Compile the package (this will take some time), install it and answer the Debconf questions. After reboot you will have a console configured the way you want it and your preferences will be stored in /etc/default/console-setup awaiting to be used by the X keyboard configurator.
