I forgot to mention, that the individual virtual console can be turned into processing the expected iso-8859-1 input in the standard way:
### On any ttyN, where N>1 ### Effective also for an underpriviledged user $ kbd_mode -a Thus the keymap is correct, as well as the font, the only problem is that not all virtual consoles get an identical setup. Or, is tty1 the only true console, and all other are lumped together as being "truly virtual", not worthy of the same keyboard input?
