>Description:
/usr/share/syscons/scrnmaps/iso-8859-1_to_cp437.scm doesn't contain some useful mappings, namely, the ACS symbols (including semigraphics) and a pair of the European letters.
>How-To-Repeat:
Having rc.conf configured as
scrnmap="iso-8859-1_to_cp437"
# font8x16="iso-8x16"
just open any console application with the ACS frames and borders, and see the diamond symbol everywhere instead. Or start, e.g. "man <anything>" and see the diamond again instead of the SOFT HYPHEN symbol.
Now congifure rc.conf as
# scrnmap="iso-8859-1_to_cp437"
font8x16="iso-8x16"
and find the differences.
---------
Using the direct ISO symbol drawing is OK. But sometimes the mapping from CP437 is more preferrable, as it allows to avoid the problem with 8bit expanding on VGA adapters. It can be noticed using the latter configuration: horizontal graphics lines looks separated with one pixel. In case of mapping from CP437 they are OK.
>Fix:
Put into the /usr/share/syscons/scrnmaps the fixed version of iso-8859-1_to_cp437.scm that is given below.
