+<para>The <parameter>-I '\033(K'</parameter> option tells
+<command>agetty</command> to send this escape sequence to the terminal
+before doing anything else. This escape sequence switches the console
+character set to a user-defined one, which can be modified by running
+the <command>setfont</command> program. The <command>console</command>
+initscript from the LFS-Bootscripts package calls the <command>setfont</command>
+program during system startup. Sending this escape sequence is
+necessary for people who use non-ISO 8859-1 screen fonts, but it does
+not affect native English speakers.</para>
