Is there anyway that future linux kernels will display more
than one foreign font on the console and virtual console at the
same time? I realize that Xwindows and other such GUI s/w pkgs
can display them, but I'd like to see the console do it too.
A traditional console has limitation on thr number of different
characters it can display at any time -- a framebuffer console
wouldn't have this limitation.
Perhaps this can be made a kernel compile option for more than
one language font vs. just the native one one wants to use.
You can opt to use a framebuffer -- I don't know if it will work for
all fonts though.
