Hi all. I'm wondering two things about using UTF-8 on the console, where
I spend a significant portion, though by no means the majority, of my
computer time:

- What is the cleanest possible way to get the console (all of the
  virtual consoles, not just the bootup one) into UTF-8 mode as early as
  possible? If it matters, I'm using the Rage 128 framebuffer driver on
  x86 Debian sid.

- I remember hearing about a tool that takes a bdf or some other full
  font format and being able to extract any arbitrary set of 512
  characters from it and put that set into a console font. Can any of
  you point me to it? It would be nice to make various Unicode console
  fonts tailored to my tastes.

Have a good day, and keep up the high-quality i18n hackery.
