New kbd instead of old console-tools caused this script to fail. The reason is that original script doesn't send "magic symbol" to each console after running /usr/bin/setfont. It is done this way: "echo -ne "\033)K" >dev/ttyX. Without sending it, you'll get blank spaces instead of not-ascii7bit symbols. I've fixed a script and it runs quite well, though it might require additional testing. One can get it at the provided URL. My system is quite freshly installed Gentoo 1.2 with kbd. Locale settings is ru_RU.KOI8-R, used fonts "Cyr_a8x16" and "koi2alt" mapping. If you need to contact me for further details, please use botsvein@yandex.ru instead of my registred e-mail.
I think you need to create a patch, and add that, as that URL just dont want to work for me. Thanks.
