I don't know exactly the function of APP_CHARSET_MAP in

VC's in questions, e.g.
APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc8=iso05
Iso05 may be wrong for your system. Use what you think is most appropriate.
Where can I find out what other possibilities I have, and what they mean?
dpkg -L console-tools | grep man
That's quite a lot to study, and not so easy to understand.
I'm not through yet...
"Man 4 console" looks like a good starting point. However, the values
for APP_CHARSET_MAP don't seem to be documented in the console-tools
package.
What could be appropriate on ordinary PC hardware for english and
german? How could I find out what consoles 1-6 use (which seems
right)?
Try iso01 through iso06.
Noone of them gave me german umlauts on consoles 8 through 12 (like I
do have them on console 1 through 6).
BTW: I have no idea which program uses /etc/console-tools/config and
where it is called in the boot process and under which name.
It looks like it's /etc/rcS.d/S48console-screen.sh.
Yes I had seen this one, but I thought it would only be called in
single user mode. There is no such link in the other /etc/rcS.n
directories. Probably I do not understand that right.
"S" is the startup runlevel; when the machine boots, it starts in "S"
before going to the destination runlevel, e.g. "2".
It might also be a good idea to do "dpkg-reconfigure locales"; that
might set up your consoles for your default locale.
Tried that, no change.
How do you attempt to enter German umlauts? How would you enter "ö" at
the console?
I press the key right of 'l' which gives me 'ö' on consoles 1 through 6
but garbage on 8-12.

I don't think I have too many more ideas--except to try random values
for iso## and hope that the machine doesn't crash.
