109 <para>The <parameter>-I '\033(K'</parameter> option tells
110 <command>agetty</command> to send this escape sequence to the terminal
111 before doing anything else. This escape sequence switches the console
112 character set to a user-defined one, which can be modified by running
113 the <command>setfont</command> program. Sending this
114 escape sequence is necessary for people who use non-ISO 8859-1 screen
115 fonts, but it does not affect native English speakers.</para>
