    16 and the console font. If non-ASCII characters (British pound and Euro
    17 character are examples of non-ASCII characters) will not be used and

    26 for several countries was installed with the LFS-Bootscripts package,
    27 so the relevant section can be uncommented if the country is
    28 supported. If still in doubt, look in the <filename

    30 keymaps and screen fonts.  Read the <command>loadkeys</command> and
