.Sh BUGS
.\" .Nm kbdmap/vidfont
.\" does not know which font is in use. E.g. if the current font
.\" is iso-8859-1 and you chose lang 'ru' (for Russian)
.\" you get funny latin1 characters and not russkij shrift.
.\"
The
.Nm
and
.Nm vidfont
utilities work only on a (virtual) console and not with
.Tn X11 .
