107    <para>The <parameter>-I '\033(K'</parameter> option tells
108    <command>agetty</command> to send this escape sequence to the terminal
109    before doing anything else. This escape sequence switches the console
110    character set to a user-defined one, which can be modified by running
111    the <command>setfont</command> program. The <command>console</command>
112    initscript from the CLFS-Bootscripts package calls the
113    <command>setfont</command> program during system startup. 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>
