Personally, I only logon the console when something goes wrong and I
cannot logon over SSH. Having the console assume that the locale is
C.UTF-8 if not defined would work just fine, as long as I get my usual
Finnish keyboard map and can edit configs that may contain non-ASCII
characters while on the console. As long as they can display and my
Finnish keyboard map works, I'm happy.

However, I regularly stare at the console to check for problems during
bootop. The key problem is that when the font is loaded, the console
display is reset just as I'm trying to keep track of what init scripts
are printing. Picking a different font would not solve that.
