Hmmm, no idea what could cause this ... you have terminus-font
installed do you? Can you verify whether you have the file
/usr/share/consolefonts/ter-v12n.psf.gz? Which version of baselayout and
terminus do you use?

media-fonts/terminus-font-4.20 (/usr/share/consolefonts/ter-v12n.psf.gz)
Couldn't think of anything else - sorry :-/

Looks OK to me. Since you were using 4.20 I installed that but get the
same results.
To be *very* clear, I have not installed the vesafb stuff yet.
Possibly it's that? Or maybe there is a kernel option other than
vesafb that needs to be enabled so that the kernel will use different
fonts?
Thanks,
Mark
