</div>Do not waste your time please, we will replace the entire kernel<br>
font/keymap logic with a userspace font renderer and xkeymaps and real<br>
hotplug, .... There is no point really in add a library now, when we<br>
will get rid of it anyway later.<br>
<br>
The kernel's VT will only be a debug console if all went south, and<br>
systemd will not set that up wit localization. The kernel's VT<br>
subsystem is just too broken to be used as a console for daily use<br>
today.<br>
