Rendering UTF8 in the bare terminal?

• kmscon

I noticed the kmscon website lists two git repos, neither have been updated in some time.

• kbd

If you're not using systemd, somewhere during boot you will probably want to use the unicode_start script, part of the kbd project.

So I click the link for the kmscon located in debian unstable (I could have picked testing, doesn't really matter). On that page there's a sidebar on the right, with a link titled "Homepage", that links to a github repo. I also checked a few other distros and this seems to be the fork everybody is using, so let's go with that.

• libtsm

  Terminal-emulator State Machine

As noted on the release notes for kmscon version 9, we need libtsm 4 or greater. The release notes contain a link to libtsm, which has a v4.0.2 release. It looks like this does NOT have the developer-created tarball so we'll just use the "Source code (tar.gz)" link.

• meson

  110 5,257 9.8 Python

  The Meson Build System

  

We'll go to meson's github page and download the latest release (opting for the meson-1.1.0.tar.gz file), and extract it somewhere
