The kbdmap
utility allows easy setting of
available keymaps. The vidfont
command allows the
setting of fonts. Both examine a database for the keymaps and fonts.
Descriptions are in English by default, but may also be in other languages.
These programs are interactive and expect to run in a terminal to get
required input (e.g., a keymap selection) from the user.
It is strongly recommended to not choose MSDOS codepage keymaps or fonts. Use the ISO standard version if available! X11 does not support MSDOS codepage.

The kbdmap
and
vidfont
commands appeared in
FreeBSD 2.1.
Wolfram Schneider <wosch@FreeBSD.org> wrote the original Perl version. The current version was rewritten in C by Jonathan Belson <jon@witchspace.com> for FreeBSD 5.0.
The kbdmap
and
vidfont
utilities work only on a (virtual) console
and not with X11.
