Hi, thank you for your reply, hazel.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the book? In section 7.6.5, under "FONT", it says:
Code:
Typically, this includes the font name, “-m”, and thename of the application character map to load. E.g., in order to load the “lat1-16” font together with the “8859-1”application character map (as it is appropriate in the USA), set this variable to “lat1-16 -m 8859-1”.
My understanding is that UNICODE=1 is only necessary if I plan to use a UTF-8 based locale, but I set my locale in /etc/profile with:
Code:
export LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1
Adding "UNICODE=1" changed nothing, and interestingly, removing "-m 8859-1" changed the error to "Cannot open font file lat1-16", with or without "UNICODE=1".
I checked /usr/share/consolefonts and found "lat1-16.psfu.gz", so I'm not sure why that won't work.
On another note, not sure whether I should use "KEYMAP=qwerty" or "KEYMAP=us" but it hasn't made a difference so far.
I feel like I made a configuration or setup error somewhere, but I don't know where. I'll keep looking.
EDIT: I'm sorry, I shoulda mentioned, I'm using LFS 8.4 with SysVInit, not SystemD
