Details

This patch adds support for native /etc/locale.conf and /etc/vconsole.conf. These files are preferred to /etc/rc.conf.

Additionally this fixes a problem with utf8 handling. The expression in keymap install script matched locales ending in '.UTF-8' but NOT '.utf8' (without dash). Systems with locales ending in '.utf8' ended in tty1 being unusable for commands producing any kind of utf8 output.

Patches against consolefont and keymap install scripts are attached.

Please adhere to the style guide next time. There's a few issues with both of these hooks which I've addressed. Please try the attached hooks, and thanks for hunting down the bug with the keymap hook (though utf8 isn't really valid).

Sorry about the style.

consolefont requires vconsole.conf, not locale.conf. After changing this everything is fine. Updated file is attached. Thanks!
