- This is the Debian-Linux prepackaged version of the Linux console font and
- keytable utilities.
-
- This package was put together by Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org>, from
- sources you can get from:
- http://lct.sourceforge.net/
-
-
- `console-tools' is a improved version of the kbd package. It is
- maintained by Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org>.
-
- The Linux Console Tools are covered by the GPL
- (see /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL for details).
-
- The copyright notice for the original `kbd' package tells that
- loadkeys, dumpkeys and showkey were derived from Risto Kankkunen's
- kbd-0.81. The font loading code goes back to the codepage package by
- Joel Hoffman (joel@wam.umd.edu). (He told that the original reference
- is: "From: p. 307 of _Programmer's Guide to PC & PS/2 Video Systems_
- by Richard Wilton. 1987. Microsoft Press".) The kernel and user
- interface for the font loading closely used to follow Eugene Crosser's
- intl_con package, but that may not be true anymore.
