How are you handling keyboard LEDs?

That is a wacky notion, but it might just make sense. Certainly using the
xkb utilities from X directly is an attractive idea. Not only is the
configuration based on a compatible format, it's actually the very same
commands to do the configuration to a pseudo-X server that is a virtual
console. I wouldn't want the console server talking to xfs the way the X
server does, though. For loadfont, you still want a user program that gets
font data from whereever (including from an xfs, or all manner of format
conversions it might do) and loads the data into the console server.
