All charmaps are here: /usr/share/consoletrans/*.acm.gz

The cp437.acm.gz is built in kernel and used by default. This file is only 
provided for those who want to go back to kernel defaults after trying other 
charmap.

The straight-to-font.acm.gz is autoloaded when consolechars do not find -m 
<charset> option.

The rest of charsets are: iso*.acm.gz which cover all languages and all are 
8bit. These maps work great with programs and scripts in lunar. I use iso02 
since I used mandrake now use in lunar and always works well. This becomes 
very important if LANG variable is set to Polish - the programs then are 
autotranslated to Polish and gives unreadable output if consolechars do not 
have -m iso02 parameter.

Additional cyrillic maps (the ISO one is iso05)
koi8u.acm.gz
ruscii.acm.gz
I do not know if these are 8bit.

I think that implementing iso01 to iso10 should be enough. The other upper iso 
numbers are for future.
