Attached is a new version of the "console" script for LFS 6.x. The
difference from the stock version is that the new script tries to guess
the screen font based on the user's locale settings.
To test the script, put it into /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory instead of
the old version, remove (or comment out) the FONT=... line in
/etc/sysconfig/console, and add LANG=your_locale there instead.
I have not implemented keymap guessing because even for the same locale
preferences may differ depending on the exact keyboard model.
Please report whether this script guesses your screen font correctly
(also please specify your locale). Suboptimal but not strictly incorrect
guesses should be explained (i.e. what exactly is suboptimal).
Test results should go to the lfs-support list.
