.SH NAME
loadunimap \- load the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B loadunimap
[\fI\,options\/\fR]
[\fI\,map\/\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B loadunimap
command is obsolete - its function is now built-in into
.BR setfont (8).
However, for backwards compatibility it is still available
as a separate command.
.LP
The program
.B loadunimap
loads the specified map in the kernel unicode-to-font mapping table.
If no map is given
.I def
mapping table is assumed.
The default extension (that can be omitted) is
.IR .uni .
.LP
On Linux 2.6.1 and later one can specify the console device using the
.B \-C
option.
.LP
Usually one does not call
.B loadunimap
directly - its function is also built into
.BR setfont (8).
