In /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit there's an "if" statment that looks something like 
this:

if [ -x /sbin/setsysfont ]; then

It's a rather long thing.. What I did was comment out the entire "if / fi" 
block and put this after it

DELAYED_FONT=yes

This flags another routine down at the bottom of the script to set the system 
font, and it does not change your extended font back to a normal font.

Your milage may vary, and I would be curious if any one knows the "correct" 
way to fix this.
