This is the Debian-Linux prepackaged version of the Linux console font and
keytable utilities.  

This package was put together by Yann Dirson <dirson@debian.org>, from
sources you can get from:
 ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/keyboards/console-tools-*


`console-tools' was derived from kbd-0.94 by Yann Dirson
<dirson@debian.org>.

The Linux Console Tools are covered by the GPL
(see /usr/doc/copyright/GPL for details).

The copyright notice for the original `kbd' package tells that
loadkeys, dumpkeys and showkey were derived from Risto Kankkunen's
kbd-0.81.  The font loading code goes back to the codepage package by
Joel Hoffman (joel@wam.umd.edu).  (He told that the original reference
is: "From: p. 307 of _Programmer's Guide to PC & PS/2 Video Systems_
by Richard Wilton. 1987.  Microsoft Press".)  The kernel and user
interface for the font loading closely used to follow Eugene Crosser's
intl_con package, but that may not be true anymore.  [Similar things
were done earlier by Jerry Kaidor (tr2!jerry@abekas.com,
jkaidor@synoptics.com) : fontpak, H. Peter Anvin (hpa@nwu.edu) and
Pavel Zaboj (xzaboj@vse.cs).  Their code was not used, but the Latin-1
*.psf fonts were developed by H. Peter Anvin, and the Latin-2 ones by
Pavel Zaboj.]  The current maintainer of `kbd' is Andries Brouwer
<aeb@cwi.nl>.
