Which is unusable for Latin-2 consoles too... Actually I tried to get the bordering chars in /usr/src/linuc# make menuconfig <ENTER> right with Latin-2 fonts. It was FAR easier to provide an appriopritae termcap/terminfo entry for this font encoding then to use any of the output remapping stuff from kbd-0.94.
So Linus please take of all of the uncide stuff ot of the kernel. If it would be even usable it doesn't belong there anyway....
