the console easier and better.

For toggling between Latin and Cyrillic alphabets you can use
CapsLock, RightAlt, RightShift, RightControl, Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Alt,
Alt+Shift, LeftWinkey, RightWinkey and Menukey. For temporary
switching between Latin and Cyrillic you can use RightAlt, LeftWinkey,

CP1251, ISO-8859-5, KOI8-R, KOI8-U, MIK.
The utility `cyr' can remember the user preferences, so he/she
doesn't have to use many options or edit configuration file.
The package uses Debconf and can setup Cyrillic on console at boot
time.

screen, dumppsf -- converts console font to readable ASCII file,
mkvgafont -- converts raw console font to BDF font, raw2psf -- adds
unicode mapping to given raw console font
This package is based on the package console-tools-cyrillic by Vitus
Vagner (ftp://ftp.ice.ru/pub/fonts/linux/console-tools-cyrillic-0.8.tar.gz).
