This package provides the console with the same keyboard configuration scheme that X Window System has.
In result, there is no need to duplicate or change the console keyboard files just to make simple customizations such as the use of dead keys, the key functioning as AltGr or Compose key, the key(s) to switch between Latin and non-Latin layouts, etc.
Besides the keyboard, the package configures also the font on the console.
It includes a rich collection of fonts and supports several languages that would be otherwise unsupported on the console (such as Armenian, Georgian, Lao and Thai).
