So what is FONT_MAP for?
Check the setfont(8) manpage.
Thanks. So if I understand correctly, it is useful for programs
that output 8 bit characters that are not valid UTF-8 sequences and
serves to convert their output into valid unicode for display, right?
No,
some console fonts don't have a Unicode map, so they're essentially an
index -> glyph file where index is from 0-255. A unicode map adds a
"Unicode Code Point -> index" mapping.
Most fonts in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts should have bult-in maps
(haven't checked though). For those that don't have it, there's the -m
option in setfont or FONT_MAP.
Without an unicode map, you must make sure the loaded font has the same
layout as the charset you're using. Without the unicode map you can't
use utf8
