Hi all,

The only remaining ticket for LFS-6.7 is 2722, although I'm not sure
quite what needs to be done to resolve it.  That ticket points to the
kernel's unicode.txt document to show that the linux console is
always uses unicode, but also quotes setfont(8):

"If the console is in utf8 mode (see unicode_start(1))"

Why the "If" there?  Has setfont(8) just not been updated since the
kernel changed, or is it because kbd is not Linux specific? Or have I
just misunderstood the docs?

If the console is always in unicode, why do our bootscripts call
`kbd_mode -u` to set the console mode?

I think I understand the proposed changes to the examples, but I'd
prefer it if someone could prepare a patch in case I screw them up
(given my last few commits, that's entirely possible!).  And if that
patch also contains the changes to the descriptive text too, that
may make it easier for me to understand what's going on.

Thanks,

Matt.
