At least in debian, the kbd package 1.12 contains setfont. On the iglu
page the command line seems to be
setfont -m none -u none iso08.16 # or iso08.f16
loadunimap /usr/lib/kbd/unimaps/8859-8.a0-ff.uni
Although there were also some other options there for debian, but that
seems the way to go. Look at:
