.SH DESCRIPTION

The

.B loadunimap

command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into setfont.

However, for backwards compatibility it is still available

as a separate command.

.LP

The program

.B loadunimap

loads the specified map in the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table.

If no map is given

.I def

is assumed.

The default extension (that can be omitted) is

.IR .uni .

.LP

If the

.B -o

.I oldmap

option is given, the old map is saved in the file specified.

.LP

On Linux 2.6.1 and later one can specify the console device using the

.B \-C

option.

.LP

Usually one does not call

.B loadunimap

directly - its function is also built into

.BR setfont .

.SH FILES

.I @DATADIR@/unimaps

is the default directory for unicode mappings.
