I can confirm that neither ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP nor UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP, nor SC_DFLT_FONT for that matter, works as intended. I have never had any success with: options SC_DFLT_FONT makeoptions SC_DFLT_FONT=iso options UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP makeoptions UKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=norwegian.iso options ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP makeoptions ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP=norwegian.iso Please prove me wrong. -- +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Vennlig hilsen, | Best regards, | | Trond Endrestøl, | Trond Endrestøl, | | IT-ansvarlig, | System administrator, | | Fagskolen Innlandet, | Gjøvik Technical College, Norway, | | tlf. mob. 952 62 567, | Cellular...: +47 952 62 567, | | sentralbord 61 14 54 00. | Switchboard: +47 61 14 54 00. | +-------------------------------+------------------------------------+Received on Thu Dec 17 2015 - 09:57:14 UTC
