- Update to version 2.6.1: - libkfont: * Fix font saving from linux kernel if KD_FONT_OP_GET_TALL is available. * Respect font height when writing psf2 header. - keymaps: * Create new 'mac-fr' layout for contemporary French Macs. - Version 2.6.0 changelog: - libkfont: * Leverage KD_FONT_OP_GET/SET_TALL font operations. The new KD_FONT_OP_GET/SET_TALL font operations allow to load fonts taller than 32 pixels by dropping the VGA-specific vertical pitch limitation (requires kernel 6.2 or later). * Use threadsafe strtok_r. * Increase soname version. - setvtrgb: * Fix read from pipe. The pipe is not rewindable, but we don't really need to rewind() but we need to unread one character. - keymaps: * i386/dvorak/dvorak-de.map: Add dvorak-de.map from console-data. * i386/qwerty/is-latin1.map: the circumflex should also be available in its original level-3 position. * i386/qwerty/la-latin1.map: Convert the characters expressed in Latin-1 to the named constants, to ease up transition to Unicode. * pine/en.map: New version of pinephone keyboard map file. - unimaps: * Add mapping for U+25CF. The unicode maps in font files like eurlatgr.psfu and cp850-8x16.psfu have an entry for U+25CF, but the plaintext unimap files do not. - tests: * Use strace to track syscalls. Now strace is powerful enough to show OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1096201 OBS-URL: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Base:System/kbd?expand=0&rev=161 |

Handling of composition of characters ===================================== Most of the fonts have much more characters than you can reach directly through the keyboard. To access all of them you may use showconsolefont, deduce the decimal code and enter it by holding down <alt> and entering the code via the keypad. There's a much better way, though: Most characters may be entered via composition. Many characters are just consisting of a standard character with some sort of accent or change. Such characters can be composed by composition. Just press the <compose> key, let it go again, enter the accent and then the letter. Some examples: (Assuming Iso-Latin-1/9 character set:) <compose> " a => ä <compose> , c => ç <compose> | S => $ Support for composition is unfortunately not contained in most keymaps. Most lack two things: (a) The <compose> key is not mapped (b) The compose tables are not included Look at the compose.* files in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/include/: (a) You find there two files for having the <compose> key mapped. (b) You find there compose tables which are suitable for different character sets. ad (a): winkeys: The compose key will be mapped on the W*n menu key shiftctrl: The compose key will be mapped to Shift Ctrl. You can use both, if you like. ad (b): latin, latinX, latin1.add, 8859_X: Contains the compose combinations suitable for the respective character set. Many people will want to use latin1 or latin1.add. Just using latin is also sort of an acceptable compromise for many Latin character sets. YOU MAY ONLY USE ONE OF THOSE. If you want the combination of more than one table, you have to create a file which includes what you want. Please keep in mind, that all these settings only affect the console, i.e. text mode.
