NAME
wscons.conf —
workstation console
config file
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The
wscons.conf file defines parameters regarding to the
workstation console (wscons). The file consists of lines starting with a
keyword, and one or more arguments. Empty lines and lines starting with a hash
(“#”) are ignored.
This configuration file is used by the
/etc/rc.d/wscons script
which parses
/etc/wscons.conf and runs
wsconscfg(8),
wsconsctl(8), and/or
wsfontload(8) as configured.
See
rc.conf(5) for details on
enabling the rc.d script.
The following keywords and arguments are recognized:
-
-
- font
name width
height enc
file
- Used to load a font via
wsfontload(8).
name gives a font name that can be used later,
width can be used to specify the width of a font
character in pixel, height is the same, just for the
font characters' height. enc is used to declare the
font's encoding, see the description on
wsfontload(8)'s
-e option for more detail. file
gives the absolute path to the font file. See
wsfontload(8) for more
information.

enc
- Set the keyboard map to the given language code
enc, using “
