- <para>The <command>systemd-vconsole-setup</command> service reads the

- url="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/other-lang.html"/>.
- Examine <command>localectl list-keymaps</command> output for a list of
- valid console keymaps. Look in
- <filename class="directory">/usr/share/consolefonts</filename>
- directory for valid screen fonts.</para>
-
- <para>The <filename>/etc/vconsole.conf</filename> file should contain lines
