That happens if X starts before you set font, since XFree86 reads the
console font only when it starts, and not every time it's
console is switched active. So, every time you switch away from X, X
sets the font that was active when it started.

This is because consolechars also sets ACM and SFM (see man page for
explanation). That is why I prefer the old setfont, (the new one is a
script that calls consolechars). It is still easy to fix the problem
with consolechars as well. You need trivial sfm and acm files. (Or use
the ones in hebkeys.tar.gz (from www.arava.co.il/matan/hebrew).
