Description past 2001-01-14 16:10:01 UTC
	FreeBSD doesn't support the greek locale and it doesn't
provide either the necessary keymap files for the syscons driver,
nor the ISO-8859-7 fonts. Therefore, one cannot read or write
greek text in the console, or use the familiar locale settings
for most greek users.

Fix: The necessary files are included here. The directories
colldef, mklocale & timedef contain the locale files. The
directory consolefonts contains the ISO_8859-7 fonts for the
sizes 8x8, 8x14, 8x16. The directory keytables contains the
necessary keymaps to provide the ability to write greek text
in the console (courtesy of peppe@cs.uoi.gr). There are keymaps
for standard PC keyboards (greek.us101.acc.kbd) and keyboards
following the ELOT-1000 greek standard (greek.elot.acc.kbd).

If it is necessary, I will submit patches to the necessary
Makefiles in a followup-PR.

This is the uuencoded attachment.

How-To-Repeat: 
	Try to read or write greek text in the console. Try to
view the date in Greek using date(1) after having set the
environment variable LC_ALL=el_GR.ISO_8859-7.

I forgot to send the colldef/map.ISO_8859-7 with the original PR.
Here it is.
