FONT_MAP does not set the key map. <br />

This allows the user to use a different locale than the system default. Of course, the list of supported languages must be extended.<br />

== Is xset fp rehash required? ==<br />
<br />
When installing local fonts, this page suggests adding the following the <TT >.xinitrc</TT > file:<br />
<br />
xset +fp /usr/share/fonts/local <br />
xset fp rehash<br />
<br />
My understanding is that <TT >xset fp rehash</TT > is only required to reload the font path on an active X session, therefore not needed in the <TT >.xinitrc</TT > file.<br />

== Mirror web fonts ==<br />
<br />
Hi! I mirrored two websites with fonts, made a PKGBUILD and added to AUR. Can it be any problems with it? ttf-myanmar-fonts, ttf-devanagarifonts. Fonts are free for downloading, should I ask website owners before publish them here or it might be ok?<br />
<br />
:Why have you had to mirror the websites if the fonts were "free for downloading"? Where have you put the links to the original sources? What does "free for download" mean exactly? What licence are those fonts released under? If you're asking it means you're not 100% sure you could re-distribute them, so you'd better double check that, possibly with the authors of the fonts. -- [[User:Kynikos|Kynikos]] ([[User talk:Kynikos|talk]]) 12:54, 23 September 2014 (UTC)<br />

::Free for download: I made packages for installation, to install all for a language specialized fonts at once instead one by one. And for some of languages was no font packages in arch wiki. Original links are in a description of packages or should I add link to websites here in wiki? I will double check now.

== Similar/ same fonts ==<br />
<br />
Hi! Look in [[Fonts#Birman]], font "mm3" is in two packages but from a different sources, can someone review them if they are similar?<br />
<br />
== Diactric character input (lat2-16) ==<br />
<br />
I've found it necessary to use FONT_MAP=8859-2 when using FONT=lat2-16 or ter-216n (Terminus) in /etc/vconsole.conf to be able to input characters like ą, ć, ę etc. (Polish diactric characters). Maybe worth adding here.<br />
[[User:Wujek.srujek|Wujek.srujek]] ([[User talk:Wujek.srujek|talk]])<br />
<br />
:[[wikipedia:ISO/IEC_8859#The_Parts_of_ISO.2FIEC_8859|8859-2]] is already specified by selecting {{ic|1=FONT=lat2-16}}, setting {{ic|1=FONT_MAP=8859-2}} in this case does not have any effect. Terminus fonts are different in that they don't have built-in Unicode translation map (the fonts end with ''.psf.gz'' extension instead of ''.psfu.gz''), so they deserve separate instructions. -- [[User:Lahwaacz|Lahwaacz]] ([[User talk:Lahwaacz|talk]]) 06:20, 12 October 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
My experiences have been very different than yours, then. The maps included in the fonts map Unicode code points to font glyphs, and there is no problem with this - all characters are printed correctly. The problem is with input from the keyboard. Please see the topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=186736. Without FONT_MAP it just doesn't work completely - I can't write Polish characters with my keyboard. You are also wrong about the Terminus fonts not having the Unicode map - calling 'setfont -v ter-216n' results in loading the font and also logs 'Loading Unicode mapping table...'. I also read that fonts with embedded Unicode maps don't always use the psfu extension, which Terminus seems to be an example of. Please try it out, and if you find that I'm doing stuff wrong, maybe comment in the topic I linked? I also think you mixed up FONT_MAP with FONT_UNIMAP, as the latter is the map included in font files.<br />

<hr />
<div>I've got a question and a proposition. Are there among us users of other Wind models? If so, maybe it would be good to consider one of the following documentation strategies:<br />
* create one article for all Wind models, named e.g "MSI Wind",<br />
* create "MSI Wind" article as a table of contents and add articles about particular Wind models.<br />
The thing is, there are/can be differences between various Winds that are/would be worth to be noted. How do you think?<br><br />

== Keyboard support in early userspace ==<br />
<br />
I recently installed Arch on my U100 and by default I didn't have keyboard input in early userspace. Adding the 'keyboard' hook or the 'atkbd' to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf helped. Maybe it is worth mentioning here?<br />
